Update Status in Connected Board
“When a status changes here, update the matching item in a connected board”
Keep statuses in sync across connected boards without manual updates.
Use Cases
Automatically start onboarding when a deal moves to 'Closed Won' on the sales board
Push 'Ready for QA' status from Development to the QA team's board
Update delivery tracking when a request is approved on the intake board
Real-World Example
Your Sales board is connected to a Client Onboarding board via a Connect Boards column. When a deal's status changes to 'Closed Won', the linked onboarding item automatically updates to 'Ready to Start' — the onboarding team sees it instantly without anyone switching boards.
