Subitem Count Threshold Trigger
“When the number of subitems goes above or below a threshold”
Trigger when the total count of subitems on a parent item crosses a number you set. Use for workload monitoring, scope tracking, and capacity alerts.
Use Cases
Flag a project as 'Overloaded' when it has more than 20 subitems
Notify the team lead when a sprint item has fewer than 2 subtasks remaining
Trigger a scope review when a deliverable accumulates more than 10 subitems
Real-World Example
Your sprint board has parent items for features and subitems for individual tasks. When a feature accumulates more than 15 subitems, this trigger fires — changing the feature status to 'Needs Breakdown' and notifying the tech lead that the scope may be too large for a single sprint.
