Mirror Status as a trigger to an automation EXISTS: Search for "280"

[alakkotrypis (Alexander Lakkotrypis)]

I’ve noticed a lot of questions about using mirror columns as triggers for automations, which got me a bit confused because I use them all the time without any issues

I thought it might be helpful to share that mirrored statuses can indeed be triggers, you are only 1 search term away from them! When searching for “mirror” in the templates or while building an automation, it returns an empty search result. See below:

When doing the automation from scratch & searching for “mirror” it does not appear:

When in the ready templates & searching for “mirror” it does not appear:

BUT if you search for “280”(???), voilà:

I don’t understand why this is the case, but I know that this automation is the backbone of my boards and without it it would be IMPOSSIBLE to achieve my use case (from what I’ve tried and tried and tried!). I feel that a lot of people are missing just this exact automation from doing their use cases. I’m happy to share the use case in another post, once it’s perfected (soon!)

280
Enjoy it

This capability is officially documented:

Trigger Automations with a mirror column

It is out of date.

They are easily accessible from the templates in the automation center - under the mirror category on the left.

That’s great! I did not know that!

You deserve a statue! Amazing tip!!

Any idea where we can find a list off all these numbers and the automations that go with it??
