Board Assistant Power-Up for Trello — automation with real control (and no headaches) 🚀
Hey everyone! We recently launched Board Assistant — a Power-Up for Trello that brings powerful automation without code and without complexity.
Why we built it
Yes, Trello has built-in automation — even for managing members.
But in real life…
❗ It takes time to set up and test properly
❗ If you rename a list, your rules break
❗ There's no flexibility per card — it’s all-or-nothing
We fixed that with Board Assistant.
👥 Smarter member automation — simple, flexible, reliable
🧠 Clean visual interface for assigning/removing members when cards move between lists. Rename your lists? No worries — everything still works.
📦 Unique feature: every card gets its own Board Assistant panel, where you can define custom per-card rules for member changes. For example:
All cards moved to “In Progress” get assigned to John
But this one card? It follows its own logic and assigns Jane instead
💬 Automatic comments = meaningful change history
Trello’s activity log is… okay. But it doesn’t show what actually changed.
Board Assistant adds auto-comments whenever key fields change:
custom fields
labels
dates
checklists
You'll see before and after values, clearly written in natural language.
It’s like a smart audit trail — built right into your cards.
🔁 Plus:
Copy custom fields, labels, and lists between boards
Configure member actions per list: add, replace, clear, or ignore
Add a “Next list” button to cards for smoother workflows
