I have a recipe sentence with a custom trigger, which is essentially:



When “thing” happens in “external system”,



…and custom action:



create a board from {template} and add items based on “thing”



The webhook will supply the items to add to the newly created board.


If we say that thing.newBoardName is a value supplied by the webhook from the external system…


I’d like to pass thing.newBoardName into the “customize name” field in the “Create board” field in the {template} modal here:



How? Surely this must be possible, otherwise there will be lots of boards named “New board”.


Also, as the trigger is not really related to the board that it’s created on, what would the best way to organize such automations? Have a special board that’s just for automations that don’t really have a home in specific boards?

Hello there @dvdsmpsn,


I checked this with our team and this can not be achieved in the current recipe builder, but it can be done with the new workflow builder.
