Scheduling Trello Comments, Slack + Trello, and Follow My Content Calendar!
I figured out how to schedule comments in Trello and I'm STOKED. š
Trello Tip
Trello has a Slack Power-Up that lets you connect your Trello boards with your Slack workspace. This is a great way to send notifications about cards to a specific channel. Super helpful is youāre working with some folks who arenāt as used to Trello yet and need some reminders. It will post messages in your Slack channel, like this!
You can set what types of activities trigger these notifications and it will do it all the time, or you can use the card button to send a specific type of notification.

Scheduling Comments in Trello with PixieBrix and Zapier
Iām super excited about this one. I couldnāt fall asleep the other night because I was like āI wonder if thereās a way to schedule comments in Trelloā. You know, like how you can schedule Slack messages and emails these days, what if you could do that with Trello comments so you didnāt have to ping your teammates at those weird hours of the night when you feel inspired to get work done? š (Just me?)
Anyways, itās for sure do-able and it requires PixieBrix and Zapier, but since Iāve figured it out for you already, itās very easy to set up. Watch this video to see how to do it, and you can copy my extensions here. NOTE: PixieBrix is free, but I do think this requires a paid version of Zapier since weāre using a zap with multiple steps. If youāre not already using Zapier, itās probably not worth $29/mo for this functionality, but if you are already using Zapier, definitely a good reason to consider an upgrade!

Goosly
If youāre struggling to keep track of when Iām doing a live stream, when Iāve got a new newsletter coming, when Iām giving a talk⦠donāt worryāIām struggling too š. I just started using Goosly, which is a public roadmap tool, so you can follow along too!
It looks like this:
Before you ask, yes I totally could put this in a Trello board, but I actually kind liked being able to show the calendar view out of the box with no clicks needed from the viewer (honestly, canāt really do that with Trello on a public board⦠at least not that I know of!)
Hereās how it works.
Define groups (notice I have āNewsletterā, āSpeakingā, āLivestreamā, etc.)
Add āactivityā (in my case, events)
You can use markdown to style each activity to give details.
Want to see my board? Head over here. Soon youāll be able to click āsubscribeā and be notified when thereās a new event. (Speaking of which⦠that reminds me Iām due for a live stream soon⦠anybody got any requests of what I should talk about??)
š See you next week!
