What is your goal?
Very specific use case that might seem odd but I hope I can explain. Also first Make scenario so it may be very badly built. I am one of three admins of a Dungeons and Dragons server, we have a bunch of guilds people can join with their characters for some benefits. One of my fellow admins insists on the roster lists being viewable on Discord but that means only one person can keep it up to date.
I had the idea of setting up an automation so they can be updated by any of us on Trello, and the automation would update the roster posts on Discord. So what it does is check the roster lists on Trello, compare them against the last received list from each guild and if there have been changes it updates the Discord post for that guild.
What is the problem & what have you tried?
The whole scenario runs fine, I am just worried that because there are 11 guilds and therefore 11 lists that get searched it’s inefficient in terms of credit usage. Ideally I wanted it to automatically trigger whenever a card is created, moved or removed from one of the lists, but that doesn’t seem to be possible so it’s on a timer. But that means that it happens even if there aren’t any changes for a while. Is it possible to make the trigger based on cards being moved into/out of lists? Or anything I could do to make each run less credit intensive? This is really something I’m just doing to make a DnD server easier to run, not something professional so I’m hoping to reduce the running costs if possible. At the moment, to keep the credits down to my current monthly limit I’ve got it running every 2 hours.
