How to use a Righthand with Trello
Create a Trello handoff review from card identities, lists, members, due fields, and checklist evidence without guessing readiness.
Read a Trello board as a workflow
Righthand can help turn one Trello board into a handoff review. The first question is what the lists mean: a card in “Ready” may be waiting for approval, while a completed due date may say nothing about its checklist. Give the assistant the board's actual conventions before asking for a status judgment.
Trello's card reference exposes card identity, list and member relationships, due dates, and due completion. Those fields answer different questions. Preserve them separately instead of collapsing every signal into a single invented readiness score.
Select the relevant board material
Name the board, included lists, excluded archived work, and the labels relevant to the handoff. For an illustrative editorial board, the scope might be cards in Review and Scheduled, with their checklists and approved publication links.
Check the available card and checklist reads through integrations. If a needed read is absent, provide an approved board export or permit a browser inspection of selected cards. A connection listing does not prove that checklist updates or card moves are enabled.
A worked delegation brief
At 3 PM America/Los_Angeles on Friday, review the approved editorial board's Review and Scheduled lists. Produce a private handoff showing card ID and URL, list, assigned members, due date, dueComplete value, and unfinished required checklist items from the supplied policy. Identify cards missing a publication source link. Do not move cards, mark checklists complete, or publish content. Send to me for editor review and reconcile included cards against the named lists and archive filter.
This example is illustrative. Membership shows a relationship to the card; it does not necessarily identify the editor accountable for final approval. Use the board's ownership convention.
Define the output the editor can act on
An example card might be in Scheduled with dueComplete true but an unfinished legal-review item. The report should show both facts and ask the editor to resolve the mismatch. It should not call the item ready just because the due field is complete.
A card with two members can remain ambiguously owned. Keep both names and ask which person is the decision owner. When a checklist item contains a link, preserve it as evidence rather than summarizing its contents without access.
Reconcile moves and repeat reviews
Use card IDs across runs. Moving a card from Review to Scheduled does not create a new piece of content. Record the changed list and any new checklist evidence in the existing handoff item.
Archived cards, deleted attachments, and unavailable checklists should be visible exceptions. An empty response can reflect a filter or permission problem. Verify the board identity and expected list names before reporting that no work needs attention.
If the editor approves a supported card move later, target the exact card and destination list, then retrieve it again. Confirm checklist and due fields independently. Set permissions through Righthand's connection guide, and check pricing for the recurring review.
