When an item is moved from one board to another and we have a recipe sentence for that, how do you capture the old board id?

Hello there @dvdsmpsn,

You can not get that from the request when using the native “When item is moved to a board” trigger.

As a workaround, what I can think about is checking the last updated boards (the one the item belonged to should be there):

{
  boards(limit:100, order_by:used_at){
    name
    id
  }
}

And then check the activity logs using those board IDs and the ID of the item, to see in which board you see the “move_pulse_from_board” event:

{
  boards(ids: [1743196779, 1596123062, 1832418637, 3428809499, ...]) {
    name
    id
    activity_logs(item_ids: 2440689797) {
      data
      event
    }
  }
}

Not super comfortable, but should work.

What do you think?

Wow, @Matias.Monday that feels both insane and pretty cool actually. Thank you.

@Matias.Monday It’s actually easier than that.

Use this query

  query get_activity_logs (
    $boardId: ID!, 
    $itemId: ID!
  ) {
      boards(ids: [$boardId]) {
        name
        id
        activity_logs(
          item_ids: [$itemId]
        ) {
          data
          event
        }
      }
  }

Pass in variables (boardId is in the context, itemId comes from the trigger output):

{
  "boardId": newBoardId, 
  "itemId": itemId 
} 

In the results, look for the first event named move_pulse_into_board, parse the JSON data string returned and look for source_board in the JSON.

That is a great workaround @dvdsmpsn !!!

Thanks you saved my life haha
