How can I see an activity stream of all activity without watching spaces/pages?
Asked by Keeley Sorokti:

I just found out that there isn't a way to turn off email notifications in Confluence cloud when you watch spaces/pages. As a workaround, I will now be advising my colleagues to set up an email filter that moves all of these unwanted notifications into an archive folder in email (or deletes the messages).

I'm wondering if there is another way to get at what we are trying to accomplish. I'd like to figure out a way for employees to see the most recent activity in a particular space or all activity in Confluence. Is there a way to see all activity in Confluence outside of installing the mobile app and clicking on Activity (I think this shows all activity??).

If I watch a space, I can see the latest activity in that space by clicking on the bell icon and scanning my watch list. But if I am not watching a space, how do I see all the latest activity in that space? And how do I bring in an activity stream to a page so that I could just show what the latest new pages, new blogs, edits, etc. are in that space?

I am new to Confluence and trying to sort this out so I can advise employees about their options for staying informed while cutting down on the noise.

P.S. You can go vote on this suggestion to add the ability to turn off email notifications when you watch a page or space:

JIRA issue count display from Macro
Asked by Sunil Kirangi:

Hi All,

I have similar query in my project but i would like to render multiple JIRA filter issues counts in my defect table.

I can able to get the query results from JIRA but its not customizable like only the number of issues instead it will display as 2 issues (hyper links) rathar than i want to use as only number 2, like below,

By click on each number i can view the issues list from JIRA.

I know this is possible to implement but the problem which type of Macros i need to and is there any pointers available for such kind of customization.

It would be really helpful if you share this information.

Is there a way to search for a particular term in the confluence and export the search results?
Asked by Hema Vinodhkumar:

We are using Confluence for our Product documentation and there is a need to find a particular term (for e.g. services) and replace it (for e.g. Services). We need to do this across many spaces. Is there a way or a macro that I can search for this term and export the search results as a report to track all the pages where the replacement has to be done?


Answers:
author: Robby Holtmann_IntraFind Software AG_
body: Hi [@Hema Vinodhkumar](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4554494) ,

our search solution "[iFinder Confluence Search](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220508/ifinder-confluence-search?hosting=server&tab=overview)" can do this as well.

You can start a case sensitive search (overall spaces), set several search filters (like spaces, Labels, etc.) and you will get your result list. this result list can also be exported (csv).

With the excellent search function and search results of "iFinder Confluence Search" your desire to restructure may be unnecessary.

This will require some development efforts. Assuming that you are using Confluence Server, you can use REST API endpoints to scan pages in your confluence spaces and search for a string in those pages and then update them.

I'm wondering if there's a variable that I can use that would pull the last comment on the card?

Change text color on Yellow labels

Trello labels are fantastic, however Yellow labels with text are unreadable. Is there a way to change the text color of labels? If so, is there also a way to change the color of only certain labels?

Black on Yellow would be great, however a global change would then make Black labels unreadable.


Answers:
author: Alice
body: Hi Carson! Unfortunately, there is no way to change the text color of labels, but you can always enable the **color blind friendly mode** if it helps.

To do it, just go to your board **Settings** \> **More** \> **Labels** and then click the following button:

Business Class is an upgrade for a single Trello team, so you will only pay for members of that upgraded team. Any other free teams won't have any charges associated with them. This is also why that free team won't have access to your Business Class team's features either.

Butler duplicate rules
Asked by Natsu:

Hi Everyone,

I'm managing several events at the same time and for each of the projects, I've created a board. I want to implement the same rules in each of the boards but it seems like I have to go on each board and set the rule for each of them which takes so much time! Isn't there a way to duplicate or copy to rules and apply it to all boards? I know it is possible for the buttons but I haven't seen anything for the rules.

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Determining what actions user is permitted using REST API
Asked by dmehers:

Hi,

Once I have a REST API user token (read \& write) and can list the boards the user can access (either ones they own, or ones they have joined such as <https://trello.com/b/1Jz6SorC/the-dev-board>), how can I determine what actions are permitted?

Specifically for a board, how can I tell if they are allowed to create lists, or for lists how can I determine if they can create/move cards, for cards if they can comment, or modify the description etc? Same for checklists, checkboxes, etc.

I'm aware of `permissionLevel` in the board's "prefs" but I've not seen this documented anywhere and I'm not sure if it is directly relevant.

Thanks,

Damian

Emails that are automatically forwarded to Board are not including the phone numbers in the emails
Asked by Shmaya Haskel:

We are using trello as a CRM. The leads get automatically forwarded from gmail to the trello board.

We are having an issue with emails that include a phone number but the phone number is not showing in the Trello card description.

Any insight would help. Thank you


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Shmaya Haskel](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3619220) what you might find is that the signatures are being cut out because they're part of an image rather than the plain text content of the email. There's no good way to fix this unfortunately.

Benko Board (my integration) lets you use Trello as a Gmail client:

<http://trello.com/integrations/#benkoboard>

It still uses plain text but all signature graphics are imported (along with other attachments) into a linked Google Drive file and there is a "View in Gmail" link on every card so you can easily go and inspect the original email if formatting is a bit funny.
Trello new feature "Board templates" in trello api
Asked by ArinCantCode:

Are there any plans to bring new trello feature "board templates" to the current trello api? That would be awesome, if possible to use through API


Answers:
author: ManuR
body: Hi there!

While the board templates are not yet officially available via our API, you should be able to work around this by using the idBoardSource parameter and the keepFromSource one in order to create a new board based on an existing one.

So your call would look like this:

```
curl --request POST \  --url 'https://api.trello.com/1/boards/?name=BoardName&defaultLabels=true&defaultLists=true&idBoardSource=BOARDID&keepFromSource=cards&prefs_permissionLevel=private&prefs_voting=disabled&prefs_comments=members&prefs_invitations=members&prefs_selfJoin=true&prefs_cardCovers=true&prefs_background=blue&prefs_cardAging=regular&key=yourAPIkey&token=yourToken'
```

where BoardName is the name you want to give to that new board, and BOARDID is the actual ID of the board that you can retrieve via the API (<https://developers.trello.com/reference/#boardsboardid-1>).

This will also work if the BOARDID is from a board template :)
I've lost the ability to create or add checklists to a card
Asked by Erica Brooks:

I'm using Trello in collaboration with a client. All of a sudden I can no longer add checklists to a card on her board. I used to be able to do this without any problem, and I can still add checklists on my own boards. But when I'm on her board, I can only edit checklists that are already added to a card. I've tried opening cards that I've created and had previously added checklists to and experience the same issue: I can edit the checklists I already created (add new items or change words on existing items), but I cannot add a new checklist.

When I click on the "Checklist" button, nothing happens. No error message, no menu. Nothing at all.

The strange thing is that while trying to figure out and test on different cards, I had one card that let me add a checklist. I deleted that checklist, and then tried to add another one, and it wouldn't work at all.


Answers:
author: Jireh
body: Hi Erica,

I have a few tests I'd like you to try to diagnose the problem:

1. Are you able to create checklists just fine on your own boards?

2. Are you able/unable to do anything else besides checklists on your client's board? Can you create new cards/lists, edit descriptions, add due dates, etc?

If these issues only occur on your client's board and not on your own boards, it could be that your client has set certain permissions on their board, preventing you from accessing it completely.

comments: author: Erica Brooks
body: I logged out of Trello and back in, and since doing that, it seems to be functioning as normal. So there must have been a little bug.

Before I logged out, I was able to create checklists on my boards just fine. On my client's board, I could create new cards, add/edit descriptions, add/edit due dates, add/edit members, add/edit labels, add/remove attachments and comment/tag to my heart's content. I could edit existing checklists on cards (edit the list items, add new items, check off items, etc), I just couldn't add any checklists to a new or existing card.

That all seems to have been fixed by logging out and logging back in. Fingers crossed things continue to work!

Thanks for your reply!
Customising email notifications
Asked by Louis De Stoop:

Hello,

My colleagues and I are wondering if there are ways to customise the notifications coming into our email addresses to daily rather than hourly?

Ideally, we would like to receive only a summary of all the notifications from Trello per day; i.e. at a given time of day a notifications summary of all the activities/updates that have been posted on the board arrives at our respective email addresses.

Kind Regards,

Louie.


Answers:
author: Garrett
body: There isn't currently a way to customize those notifications fully, Louis, but I will let our team know about your interest in that.

For now, you could adjust the email frequency to periodically. It won't reduce that to only once per day, but it would be less often than them being sent immediately.

Let me know if you have any additional feedback to share!
Calendar Question
Asked by Brian Bender:

Cards default to one hour in the calendar. I have it synced and it takes a full hour.

How can I adjust the time? I would like some cards to take 15 minutes on the calendar for example. I can't edit the time on the other end.


Answers:
author: Torben_trello
body: Trello itself does not offer any time frames that could be selected. Trello only offers a single date, the due date. If you integrate with a Calendar app, most likely the Calendar app will take their default duration for events. However that is not something that Trello controls.

There are 3rd party Power-Ups that offer different options to display specific times like: <https://trello.com/power-ups/58bd1f9aca72f48c8900574f/planyway-calendar>

Maybe this can help.
