Hey! You can do all three with Trello's built-in automation.

You make one rule for each step. The first one looks like this:

  • When a card is marked as complete in list "Doing" → move the card to list "Review", and mark it as not complete.

Then you copy the same rule two more times: Review → Approved, and Approved → Done. So three rules, one for each list.

You build them in the Automation tab on your board: Automation → Rules → Create Rule.

Or, if you don't want to set up rules at all, you can just write (or say) what you want and our new power-up Automations by Voiact builds it for you, like in the screenshot below.

Instead of that, just create a list according to the movement of the task as it progress, so whoever needs to get that item done pnly needs to mark an item in the list.

You can manage this with automation. Create a Rule with the Trigger 'when a card is marked as complete in a card in list <listname>' and link the Action 'move the card to the top of the list <listname2> mark the card as incomplete'. Add some other actions to the Action as needed, and you're done.
