Enhanced Card Automations for Custom Events

We're excited to announce a new capability for Card Automations in AgilePlace that enables more sophisticated parent-child card relationship workflows.

What's New: Custom Event Card Automation for Parent-Child Relationships

This release introduces fine-grained control over parent-child card automations, allowing you to create custom automated workflows based on the relationship between connected cards.

Key Features

• Enhanced Parent-Child Triggers: Create automations that respond specifically to changes in child cards to update parent cards and vice versa.

• Lane-Based Automations: Automatically move parent cards to specific lanes when child cards change status.

• Conditional Workflows: Define precise criteria that determine when and how parent-child automations are triggered.

Use Case Example

You can now set up an automation that moves a parent card to the "Currently Working On" lane whenever the first child card is moved to that lane, helping teams maintain accurate visibility of work progress across related items.

Benefits

• Reduce manual updates between related cards.

• Ensure consistent status representation across hierarchical work items.

• Save time by automating repetitive card management tasks.

• Improve overall board accuracy with synchronized parent-child relationships.

This enhancement builds upon our existing Card Automation framework which consists of Event Types (triggers), Criteria (conditions), and Actions, now with expanded capabilities for managing connected cards.
