Creative Use Case
Manage invoices with Trello
The Sendboard team just put together an awesome blog post about how to use Email for Trello for managing invoices, but you can definitely do it without emails if you need to. When I worked in marketing, I had a “finance board” that worked like this:
Set up gmail filter to forward invoices to Trello board (find your Trello board’s email address)
Use automation to add labels to cards based on text in the title, ie if “LinkedIn” in card name from email add the `LinkedIn` label.
Have a list for storing annual POs
Use automation to attach new invoices that come in to the annual PO it should be marked against
More Productivity/Automation?
I’m creating all sorts of stuff with PixieBrix lately. This week I created a temperature converter so whenever i quickly need to convert a temp, I can do it in chrome with a keyboard shortcut! Look ma, no hands!
This is so awesome! And timely. Thank you.
