Start a project mailing list from a Trello launch card
Capture a project launch in Trello and create its EmailOctopus list without a separate setup chore.
Trigger
Card Created
Triggers when a new card is created directly on the watched board.
Action
Create List
Create a mailing list to organize email contacts.
Why this helps
A new project can be ready for updates before anyone has made its mailing list.
- Set up a dedicated list when a project is tracked in Trello.
- Keep project mailing setup connected to the launch task.
- Reduce the chance that list creation delays communications.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Trello and EmailOctopus once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Describe which new cards represent launches and the naming details to use for the list.
- 4Choose Trello's Card Created trigger and a report channel.
- 5Test with one real launch card and review the run report.
Questions about this workflow
Does every new card create a list?
The trigger fires for each new card on the watched board. Tell Notis how to recognize a launch card and what to do with other cards.
What details can determine the list name?
Ask Notis to use project details included in the Trello card, such as its title. Any needed information must be present in the card or your instruction.
Does creating a list add subscribers?
No. This action creates the mailing list. Adding contacts requires a separate contact action.
