You can now automate repetitive tasks directly inside the Workspace Kanban plugin.

Create rules that automatically respond to changes on your board — so routine actions happen for you without manual work.

⚡ When Something Happens

Automations can be triggered when:

  • A card is moved to a column
  • A card is created
  • A card's priority changes
  • A member is assigned to a card

Triggers can be broad or specific. For example, you can create a rule that runs whenever a card is moved, or only when it enters a specific column like In Progress or Done.

🔍 Add Conditions

Make automations more precise with optional conditions.

Rules can check:

  • Priority
  • Card color
  • Current column
  • Whether the card has an assignee
  • Whether the card has a specific tag

Multiple conditions can be combined, so an automation only runs when all requirements are met.

🚀 Automate Actions

A single rule can perform multiple actions in sequence.

For example, when a card is moved to Done, you could automatically change its color, add a tag, clear its assignees, add a comment, or move it somewhere else.

Available actions include:

  • Delete cards
  • Set card colors
  • Change priorities
  • Assign members
  • Clear assignees
  • Set start dates
  • Set due dates
  • Clear due dates
  • Move cards between columns
  • Add comments
  • Add tags

🪄 Quick-Start Templates

Don't want to build an automation from scratch?

Use ready-made templates such as:

  • Auto-Delete in Done
  • Assign Urgent to Me
  • Start Date on In Progress
  • Auto-Tag New Cards
  • Move on Assign

⚙️ Built for Control

You can reorder rules to control their execution order, enable or disable individual automations at any time, and review recent automation activity through the History tab.

The history shows when an automation ran, whether it succeeded or failed, and which actions were executed.

Less repetitive work. More automation. Better workflows.
