is there an alternative to the + sign on trello e-mail addresses?
Asked by Bruno Silva:

I am playing around with trello, trying to sell the ideia to the organization I work on.

I have setup a board, and to ease the creation of cards by people who already send requests to my team via e-mail, I was trying to add the trello e-mail address of the board to the existing distribution list.

But it seems that google does not accept the plus sign on members of distribution lists.

Is the plus sign replaceable with some other sign, like the minus, or underscore, for instance?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Sek-Mun Wong
body: Hey Bruno, you can try to remove the bit before the + sign.

ie

```
bruno+0ic12g9kajdlfkansmdl@boards.trello.com
```

can be just

```
0ic12g9kajdlfkansmdl@boards.trello.com
```

It's a quirk of the SMTP protocol, generally everything after the first + should be ignored but I think trello took it the other way.

I am assuming your team has G Suite, and you are trying to add a Trello board email to a Google Group? Or are you trying to add it to a group of contacts in Gmail?

comments: author: Bruno Silva
body: Hi! sorry I didn't explain properly. Yes, it's G Suite, and we have a support@ourcompany.com group address, and the ideia was to have e-mails sent to that group creating a card on a trello board, to keep it simple for the moment.

But google admin console does not allow addresses with a plus sign on groups.

Thanks,

Bruno

Does anyone know of a workaround?
Is it possible to create a Checklist Template in Trello?
Asked by Hanna Brook:

I'd like to be able to instantly add a checklist to each trello card - which I would ideally pre-create as templates.

Is this possible?

Or are any kind of templates possible in Trello?

Thank you!


Answers:
author: Kate Hensley
body: Is there a way to delete the checklists that are on other cards from the drop down menu? For example, I have template cards with checklists and use the same across single cards, however, every time I add it to a new card that option comes up in my check list drop down(making my list extra long). Is there anyway to consolidate and just have the checklists "templates" in there?


author: Devon Henderson
body: Hello, Hanna!

You can create template cards in Trello by simply making the card and stashing it somewhere for easy duplication. Then you can copy that card, and choose to copy over checklists and attachments. You can even hover over the card, hit CTRL+C, and then CTRL+V over the list you want to paste and the card will duplicate there!

As an example, I create "template" cards and stick them in the first list on my board, which I always reserve for board information. Then I can easily access them for duplication.

You can also create a card, and when you go to add a checklist, choose to copy a checklist from a card that already exists.

Permission to add/edit/copy cards
Asked by Charlotte Rogerson:

Hi - I am a Virtual Assistant and have recently been added to a clients private Trello board. Whilst I have access to the board and can view everything in there, I am unable to add, edit, copy or move cards and lists within the board. I have checked the settings and I am under 'normal' settings. Do I need further permission from the admin to make amendments? I have checked the Getting Started guide and it appears that 'normal' should have these rights?

Thanks in advance.


Answers:
author: Torben_trello
body: Is it possible that you were just added to the team but not to the boards? Being a team member allows you to see boards and members associated with that team, but does not give editing access to individual boards. You will need to join/be added to the boards as well: <http://help.trello.com/article/717-adding-people-to-a-board>

Can I export my cards to a list format?
Asked by Eric Stieler:

New Due Date Reflects (in)Complete Status from Prior Date
Asked by Ben Whiting:

This seems like a bug, but it could be expected behavior. I'm hoping someone can confirm or this will bring the bug to Trello's attention.

Scenario:

* Due date added to card (ex: 4/22/17)
* Due date completed \[x\]
* Due date removed from card
* New due date added to card (5/8/17)

The resulting due date ends up being already completed, which then causes the card not to flow through my workflow properly.

Expected behavior for me would be that removing a due date resets the completion status of the due date for that card, so that when a new due date is added it is incomplete (default).

Has anyone else run into this? Is it a bug?


Answers:
author: Devon Henderson
body: I just tested this and mine worked as expected - my second due date was open, and not marked completed.

1. Set due date on card (4/22/17)
2. Marked due date as complete.
3. Removed Due Date from card.
4. Added new Due Date to card (4/25/17)

The second due date was not complete, and is performing they way you, and I, would expect it to. [I would submit this as a bug on Trello's website](https://trello.com/contact?nosearch=1&source=from%20helpsite%20beacon). This way you can directly interact with Trello staff to resolve your situation.

Good luck!

From Trello to supplier
Asked by Christophe Ullens:

Hi,

In our creative workflow, we would like to be able to send a trello card and the attachment (pdf ready to print) to our supplier by gmail.  
Our supplier doesn't have access to Trello, and the email should contain the pdf and shipping info.

Is anyone of you has a powerup or other idea, please share ;-)

thx


Answers:
author: Devon Henderson
body: Hello, Christophe!

Fortunately, you have a few options! You can use a product like Zapier or IFTTT to do this work for you. I suggest Zapier, as it gives you finer control of the output email. If you are unfamiliar with Zapier, it can be found here <https://zapier.com> and is a product that lets you connect various web services to create triggered effects.

My suggestion would be a Zap where you either move a card to a list when it's ready to send, or apply a label. Then you can have it generate and send an email that plugs any variety of information from your Trello card into the email itself. You can have it add the card note, for example, as the email body. It can attach your card attachments to the email, too. It's quite flexible, and you can make the specific workflow you need.

If you have any questions on how to set this up, I'm happy to help!

We have to spend a lot of time for trnasfer card's , Can u solve our problem?
Asked by Lucas Morin:

Each card we have certain actions, in the cells of which we put a tick. Is it possible to make it so that when you click on the checkmark (resolved) the campaign is automatically moved to the column decided (so that we do not have to choose the action, move and choose the column there, it takes a very long time and when we do 400 campaigns We have to spend a lot of time on the transfer.  

<br />

And the second question is, is it possible to make so that we can select cards in one column and transfer them to another immediately (without opening them, and for example by the method as done on the phone, when you select many photos at once and delete them), then we Are forced either to move the entire column immediately to the section resolved, or forced to transfer one at a time, since we have in this column a lot of cards that have not yet been executed

How can I view a barcode on a Trello card and print it?
Asked by John Twigg:

We have been using Trello for a work order system for three years now. It has been very successful and we create about 200 cards a month with it. Now, we need to track inventory (rolls of carpet in this case) and we've looked at off-the-shelf inventory systems. However, we think that if we built it in Trello that we would have a better, more integrated solution. The problem area is placing a barcode into a card and then printing the card with barcode on a label printer.

Are we asking too much of Trello? Has anyone done anything simpler who could share with me the right approach to take? Thanks!

body: \[DELETED\] Sorry, replied to wrong thread.


author: Mike
body: Hi John,

That's a tough one! If you were able to generate the bardcode as an image, you could attach that image to the card, and then use a Chrome extension to customize the printout of that card. There are a couple of Chrome extensions that might work, like this one: <https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/trello-board-printer/jbgpfjbmmlcaicpeimjggdppephemamf?hl=en-US>

Right now, I think the image would be your only way of adding the barcode in a readable format to your card.

Taking Slack chat fragment and associate them to Trello cards
Asked by Matan Itskovich:

Hi all.

Just installed the Trello bot on slack and was hoping to use it to import pieces of our team's chats into a specific Trello card.

However, our channels don't correspond to our cards. The Slack chat is divided differently. So a simply association of a channel to a card won't do.

Which instructions do I need to give my team in order for them to be able to take a segment of our discussion, on any channel, and import it to a specific card? Is that doable?

Appreciate the help!

-Matan


Answers:
author: Mike
body: Hi Matan,

Yes, there are some limitations to how you can interact between Slack and Trello, and in order to create new cards directly from Slack, you'd need to link a specific board to that channel.

However, in order to attach Slack conversations to a specific card, this isn't necessary! If you paste a link to a card on on any board in your team into a Slack channel with Trello Bot, the link will be recognized as Trello and unfurl. One of the action buttons that come up will allow you to attach the Slack conversation going on at that time, regardless of which board the channel is linked to.

comments: author: Matan Itskovich
body: Thank you. I experimented with what you suggested and it's a good start.

How do I control the date/time range of the attached conversation? On a test I just made I saw that the bot attached our conversation from the day before up to "now" point.

Can I define a more accurate range in order to reduce garage messages?
what is the best practice for linking technical tickets to a user story with Trello
Asked by Liam Hargreaves:

We have been using trello for three years and we love how light weight it is, we create user stories and then we create technical tickets.

What is the best practice for linking technical tickets to a user story, so we know when the user story is done.

I know we can link to a trello ticket in the description/comments, but is this the best way? It still seems that I have to do a lot of matching up to see when tickets have been moved to done. I have tried using labels too - but similar overhead.

Is there a best practice way to do this?

Thanks,

Liam


Answers:
author: Francis Peixoto
body: I've seen people suggest checklists. You can use the url to another card in the checklist item name, as it will create a linked card.

Other people keep the technical tasks on a different board and use labels as the relation marker.

However you do it, is important to keep in mind that the great thing about Trello is the freedom. You'll never be constrained to a best practice of a standard, unless you impose it yourself.

comments: author: Liam Hargreaves
body: Thanks Francis, a checklist of urls could really work, i could also have multiple checklist for different departments so web: ios: qa, etc all have there own checklist of urls


author: Francis Peixoto
body: I usually replicate the JIRA workflow on my boards:

Labels:Epic \> Lists:Workflow \> Cards:Stories and Tasks

Like I said, an idea to keep the clutter down would be to segregate the technical tasks to other boards and link them in your main board. A tool like Butler could help with maintenance and automation of links.

How can I summarize cards assigned to me on one calendar?
Asked by Jing Jiang:

How can I summarize cards assigned to me on one calendar?

This feature is very important so that in one calendar, I can know what tasks are due.

Current function lists all the cards in one calendar, I don't care when is someone else's tasks due that much.


Answers:
author: Mike
body: Right now, it's not possible to view all of your boards' cards on one single calendar view, but I'll pass along your request to the team.

For now, you can add each board's iCal feed to Google Calendar, or another app which subscribes to iCal feeds: <http://help.trello.com/article/829-using-trello-with-google-calendar>

You can also use something like the calendar connector from Cronofy that can help you connect multiple Trello boards to your preferred calendar app. While we're not able to endorse or provide support for third-party services (since we don't work with them directly), we've heard good things about that one. You can find more information about it here: <https://www.cronofy.com/blog/introducing-the-trello-calendar-connector/>

There are also some calendars that integrate directly with Trello. You can read more about those in our blog post here: <https://blog.trello.com/5-calendar-apps-replace-sunrise/>

Including the Root page in a Page Tree macro
Asked by James Shin:

As the title says, is there any way to include the Root page in a Page Tree macro? It seems odd that you can't return to the Root page as it holds valuable information. Looked around and it seems like the answer is no, but I was hoping there might be a work around. Would prefer not to use a plug-in.


Answers:
author: aheadrick
body: I agree that the page root is useful data which should be able to be included.

I have not found a way to include it with the page tree macro or the child pages macro. The only way I have found to do this is to manually create a link to the root page above the page tree or child pages macro.

If anyone else finds a way to include a tree starting with the root using a macro, I would be interested.
