Hey,
I am trying to create a Sprint automation, where I create a Sprint group every two weeks, with a group name.
I am trying to add the current date to be as the group name and also the current date + 2 weeks to be there as well. I am doing it manually and it looks like this:
Is there a way to add the dates to the automation?
hi @meir23
Welcome to the community. I don’t think there is an automation available to dynamically set the group name. This would make up a wonderful “Sprint Support App” which could included these kind of recipes. If you can think of sentences (trigger and action) I can have a look if this would be the perfect Sprint Support App. For this one I am wondering what you want to use as a trigger, I can think of something like:
Every 2 week on Friday create a new group named (some possibilities) here.
It is important to decided on a trigger, which could be a status change, item creation or a scheduler
Can you think of other useful “Sprint” recipes?
Hey @basdebruin,
I’ll let you know if I think of anything else.
This would be great!
A few ideas:
Echoing Katelyn’s suggestion here. It would be very helpful to be able to auto-create groups like “Week of December 3, 2023” or even “Week 48 2023”
Hi @jcassano 
Our team at upstream have an app we can use call the ‘Duplicate Group App’ that can help in instances similar to these.
One of the recipes we built is
So, every (time period) duplicate (template group of tasks/items) and set (group name), (date) to today + (additional days) - what that gives us is control of frequency, the items/tasks being created, the name of the group (can be mapped as dynamic board columns data) and the date to follow.
You keep a group of items as the template group and map it into the recipe. Once set up you can set and forget things like recurring tasks.
I’m available to chat when you’re free and can provide a demonstration if it would be helpful.
Have a great week ahead!
