Automating Label Updates in Hive: A Step-by-Step Guide
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Are you looking to streamline your task management in Hive? Today, we're diving into a powerful automation that automatically updates labels on cards based on their titles. This simple yet effective workflow can save you time and ensure consistent labeling across your projects.
The Problem
Manually adding and updating labels on tasks can be time-consuming and prone to errors. Wouldn't it be great if Hive could intelligently apply labels based on the content of your task titles?
The Solution
Using Hive Automate, we can create a recipe that listens for new or updated tasks, analyzes their titles, and automatically applies relevant labels. Here's how it works:
- When a new task is created or an existing task is updated, the automation is triggered.
- The system scans the task title for keywords that match your predefined labels.
- If matches are found, the corresponding labels are automatically applied to the task.
Setting Up the Automation
To implement this automation, follow these steps:
- Open Hive Automate and create a new recipe.
- Connect your Hive account if you haven't already.
- Add a trigger: "New or Updating Action in Hive"
- Monitor the "action" object
- Set trigger events to "new action" and "updated action"
- Choose to monitor the "title" field
- Optionally, limit the trigger to a specific project
- Add an action to list all available labels in Hive
- Create an empty variable to store matching labels
- Set up a loop to check each label against the task title
- If a label keyword is found in the title, add it to the variable
- Update the action with the new labels using the action ID from step 1
