Automate moving item from a certain group in a certain board to a different group within a different board

Is it possible to automate moving an item from Group A1 in Board A to Group B1 in Board B,
while it is jointly possible to automate moving an item from Group A2 in Board A to Group B2 in Board B, specifically when the item is marked as done?

e.g.: Board A - To Do Tasks → Group A1 - Mark’s To Do Tasks
→ Group A2 - Sarah’s To Do Tasks
Board B - Completed Tasks → Group B1 - Mark’s Completed Tasks
→ Group B2 - Sarah’s Completed Tasks

Mark’s Task is marked as Done, it moves from “Mark’s To Do Tasks” Group in Board A to “Mark’s Completed Tasks” in Board B.
At the same time, when Sarah’s Task is marked as Done, it moves from “Sarah’s To Do Tasks” Group in Board A to “Sarah’s Completed Tasks” in Board B.

I hope this makes sense!

TIA,
Adam

If I am understanding you correctly…

Currently, using the group that an item is in as part of the decision criteria for automations is not available. However, you maybe able to accomplish what you want by setting either a person column or a status column (both available in custom automation triggers) to help control the automation.

If, for example, both Sarah’s and Mark’s tasks are assigned to them in a person column “Owner”, you could create custom automations for each of them like this:

When Status changes to Done And Owner is assigned to “Sarah” move item to BoardB

Setting the group in the item portion of the automation.
