Triggers

How triggers work

A rule has two parts: an event and an action. The event is what happened on the card (for instance, a publication was added). The action is what should happen in response (move to the Done column).

Today every action boils down to one operation: move the card to a chosen column. That's enough to automate almost the entire task lifecycle.

Events you can react to

Five event types are available:

• Card created. A new card appears on the board. Handy if you want fresh agent ideas to land in Backlog instead of Idea.
• Brief ready. The content plan has been generated and saved. A good moment to auto-move the card into To do.
• Content ready. The article body is generated or uploaded. The trigger can push the card into Review.
• Card sent to review. Someone manually marked the card as needing approval. You can route notifications to teammates through integrations (handled separately from triggers).
• Publication added. A link to a live piece was attached. Logical action: move to Done.

Ready-made rules

A few common scenarios worth setting up right away:

• "When a publication is added, move to Done." The board closes the task automatically once the article is live.
• "When content is ready, move to Review." Frees the author from a manual step: written and the board asked for review on its own.
• "When a card is created, move to Backlog." Agent ideas pile up in a queue without flooding the Idea column.
