To create a board in Trello, log in to your account and click on the “+ Create new board” button on your dashboard. Give your board a name, select a background color, and choose its visibility (e.g., private, workspace-visible). Within the board, create lists to organize your tasks by stages or categories (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Done). Add cards to each list to represent individual tasks or items. You can customize cards with details such as due dates, labels, checklists, attachments, and comments. Drag and drop cards between lists to track progress and manage workflows effectively.

Trello offers several features for collaboration and communication. You can invite team members to your board by clicking on the “Invite” button and entering their email addresses. Once invited, team members can view, comment on, and edit cards based on their permissions. Use the “Comments” section on each card to discuss tasks, share updates, and attach files. Trello also supports notifications to alert you of changes, due dates, and comments. Additionally, you can use integrations with tools like Slack, Google Drive, and Microsoft Teams to enhance collaboration and streamline communication.

To automate tasks using Butler, go to the “Butler” tab on your Trello board. Click “Create a new command” to set up automation rules based on triggers (e.g., moving a card to a list, adding a label). You can choose actions such as creating a new card, assigning a due date, or sending a notification. Configure the rules to specify when and how these actions should occur. Once set up, Butler will automate repetitive tasks, reducing manual work and improving efficiency. You can view and manage your automation commands from the Butler dashboard.
