How to find all automations affecting one board

Josh Mollart May 2, 2024

I've got a Butler integration with Slack on a trello board. Everytime a card is moved into the Done column we get a little message on our slack channel - which is great.

The problem is I want to disable it and I can't find it anywhere. It's not an enabled automation on my board that I can see and the activity log only shows automations that have been run 'as you'

So someone else has made the automation and I don't know who. How do I find that out?

Hi @Josh Mollart 

Not sure if the other answers were AI generated...

I'll go for the HI option, I hope it is a little more helpful 

Are you a workspace admin?

If you are, you will be able to see the automations for all users by going here...

If you aren't an admin, find out who is and they can do it.

What you can't do is disable other peoples automations so if you find it this way, you'll have to ask the creator to disable it.

 

My final bit of advice, just through years of using Trello automation. In a team scenario, I recommend making a "bot account" to run automations (example trellobot@trello.com) and if people want to add automations they do it there.  There are 3 main benefits:

  • Avoids the issue you have right now
  • If someone leaves, you don't have issues with automation access
  • When automations run, the activity log is clear, you know that if it runs from @trellobot you know it is an automation activity for sure, where it isn't so clear when it runs from a members account

Thanks @Josh Mollart for adding that part, so seems the privilege limit you have is impacting on that front.

With that -would you be able to reach out your admin to find out good possibilities.

Hi @Josh Mollart 

Direct option to identify on who created a specific automation is not a native capability and it is a good feature to develop, you can also try other possibilities like described below to see if it fills your requirement,

After opening the desired Trello board and automation button which will open automation directory, take a look into the rules triggered by card movement – in particular to the Done list

Or you can also check for any buttons affecting cards that might trigger Slack notifications.

 

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards

Thanks Humashankar,

Unfortunately there are no buttons and no other automations enabled that I can see.
