Move a Trello card when a Discord command is received
Intermediate Project & Task Management workflow for Productivity & Personal
A webhook receives the Discord command. A Code node parses the action keyword and card ID and looks up the destination list ID from a small in-node map (done->Done, block->Blocked, review->Review), which you point at your own list IDs. An IF rejects unknown actions with a helpful message. Valid commands hit the Trello node (card:update with idList set), which moves the card. A Discord node confirms in-channel. The Trello update retries with backoff and falls through to an error rail, so a failed move is reported rather than assumed done.
Key benefits
- ✓Drive the board from Discord — no Trello tab needed
- ✓Unknown commands get a hint, not a silent no-op
- ✓Confirmed moves so nobody assumes it worked
Use cases
- →Letting a support channel close cards with '!done'
- →Marking work blocked from chat during an incident
- →A chat-first workflow for a team that avoids Trello's UI

What's inside (8 nodes)
A look at the node types this workflow uses. No purchase required — full parameters and credentials are yours after you buy.
From download to running in 3 steps
- 1Import. In n8n, open Workflows → menu → “Import from File” and pick the downloaded JSON.
- 2Connect. Add your own credentials on the app nodes - n8n highlights exactly which ones need them.
- 3Activate. Run it once to test, then toggle Active. The automation is live.
What you'll learn
Production levelProduction-grade: idempotency, dead-letter handling, and reconciliation included.
- •Structuring a workflow as trigger, validate, act, and notify
- •Adding retries and an explicit error path to every external call
- •Keeping writes idempotent so re-runs stay safe
Every node carries its own documentation on the canvas, plus notes explaining why the architecture was built this way, a credential setup guide, troubleshooting, and three practice exercises. Sample data comes pinned to the trigger, so you can hit Execute and watch data flow before connecting a single account.
Common questions
What exactly do I get?
The complete, ready-to-import n8n workflow as a JSON file, delivered instantly after payment. Import it into your own n8n (cloud or self-hosted), add your credentials, and it runs.
How do I import it into n8n?
In n8n, open Workflows, click the three-dot menu, choose “Import from File”, and select the downloaded JSON. Then connect your own app credentials on the highlighted nodes.
Do I need anything else for it to work?
You need your own n8n instance and accounts/credentials for the apps this workflow connects to (Trello, Discord). No coding is required.
What if it doesn't work for me?
If the file is faulty, won't import, or isn't as described, contact us within 7 days and we'll fix it or refund you - see our refund policy.
Can I modify or resell it?
You can freely adapt and use it in your own or your clients' projects. Reselling or redistributing the template file itself is not permitted.
