What does this Trello automation do?
AI classifies each new card and files the ones that need real work as tasks.
What can you do with it?
- Split ideas from actual requests
- Route by type without reading each card
- Keep the classification for reporting
The Steps
This automation runs in 4 steps:
- When Trello — New Card
- Then Taskade AI — Ask an agent ("Board Triage")
- Then Filter — continue only when the card is real work, not an idea or a note
- Then Taskade — Add Task
What makes this different from a Zapier-style flow?
The "Board Triage" step is not a one-off model call. It is a Taskade AI agent that knows your lists and what counts as real work here, remembers how similar cards were sorted, so every run builds on the last one instead of starting from an empty prompt.
A stateless "ask the model" step forgets everything the moment it returns. An agent keeps its knowledge and its memory between runs, carries its own tools, and can be handed work by your other automations.
Who is this automation for?
Built for teams using a board as an inbox. AI classifies each new card and files the ones that need real work as tasks.
How do you set it up?
