FAQ

Questions about Move Card.

What does the Move Card action do in Trello?

Moves a Trello card to a different list (the canonical Kanban stage-change action). Often used to auto-advance cards based on external state (PR merged, customer reply, etc.).

What inputs does Move Card require?

Required: Card ID, Destination List ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Trello returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Move Card support batch operations?

Yes. Run Move Card inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Trello's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
