I am trying to create a periodical batch processor to update all items in a board. When I tried to connect with Every Time Period trigger, I cannot get the boardId from trigger. The screenshot 👇

I see some integrations, like Autoboost are updating all item of a board periodically (video shared by @Shaul_Klarman earlier). How developers are currently achieving this currently? Is there another way to get the boardId? 🤔

Thanks in advance. 😀

Cheers,
Sourav

Asper the the documentation of Every Time Period trigger, takes boardId as input, but it doesn’t return any output.

How developers are using this trigger in existing recipes to Mutate the items in a board?

@Matias.Monday do you have any suggestion?

Hello there @souravray,

What about adding the boardId input field in your board but coming from the context instead of from the trigger?

Hi @Matias.Monday thanks for the suggestion, but I am not sure how to access it from the context. This documentation doesn’t seems to work with the latest version of the SDK.

It will be really helpful if you can share any updated code example. Thanks again

When you create a “board” field in an action - you can pick the source for the field value. This will cause the field to instead of getting the boardId from the trigger, to get it from the context.
