Automatically Create Scheduled Cards Using Zapier

You might have work items that are repeated on a daily, weekly, or monthly cadence. Zapier integrations allow you to automate the creation of scheduled cards for these repeated events so that you don’t even have to think about adding them to your board, they’ll just be there when you need them!

To get started creating a scheduled, repeated card using Zapier integrations, first go to the Zapier website. From there, click Make a Zap at the top of the screen.

This will bring you to a page where you can select the applications you would like to integrate for this Zap. From here, you’ll want to first choose Schedule from Zapier’s built-in apps.

This will bring you to a list of scheduled triggers you can create.

You can then choose to:
