Merge duplicate Trello cards with this automation

Happy Thursday! This edition is a little lighter today… I’m trying to see what you all prefer. A meatier read that has lots of ideas and action items, or something more manageable and bite sized that works better for skimming.

Let me know what you prefer!

🌮 Dear Taco

This is a section where readers can submit their Trello questions, and each week I’ll pick one and answer it! It’s like “Dear Abby” but make it trello. Have a question you want to submit? Share it here.

i'd be happy to see a video of you doing trello automation about when a new card is added in a board, find its duplicate card name, update the new card with whatever is in the duplicate card and then delete the old card. thank you so much britt! <3

Here’s a video describing how to do exactly that! Hope it helps!

Want to submit your question? Maybe it’ll be featured next week!

⚡️ Featured Power-Up

Add emoji reactions to a card with the Card Reaction Power-Up.

I love reacting to Slack messages with emojis, and while you can react to specific comments with emojis, this Power-Up specifically lets you react to an entire card.

And just like with Slack, it keeps track of how many people have reacted with which emoji.

At first I looked at this and was like “eh i guess that’s cool, but who is using emojis to react to cards?” And apparently 10,000 boards are!

I realized one cool use case for this might be voting on something that has multiple options. For instance, the Voting Power-Up is great if a card represents and option, but you could use card reactions to vote if the card is the question, and let different emojis/reactions represent the different options.

How else would you use card reactions on your Trello boards?
