Create new Task from Chat

It happens quite often, that new tasks emerge from a discussion. Now you can easily create a new task from a conversation by selecting the corresponding messages. These messages will appear as comments in the new task.

Reference Templates

We are getting serious with our flexibility and expressiveness of automations by introducing template references. In its current version, the interface might be a bit confusing due to its complexity, but once you are familiar with it, you will love the gained flexibility.
In a template, you have the possibility to reference a node in another template. This may be a subtask, a chat message or a project that is generated in a previous automation. Hence, you are able make statements like: "This automation should be applied on result X of a previous automation".

To do so, you have to rebuild the hierarchy of the card in the template. Then, you can choose a reference of e.g. a subtask to a subtask of another template and automate it. You can delete tasks or mark them as done.


For the explorer: Are you able to find out how to move a node within the hierarchy?

Placeholder in Automations

Whenever you work with data or properties, you will likely use the new placeholder capabilities of Woost. Using placeholders, you can define your structure and necessary properties in a card. This makes adding properties charmingly simple.

Template Variables

We are introducing template variables allowing you to use properties of cards in automations. This allows the automatic generation of forms, chats or notes that reference these properties.

Up to now, the syntax is very raw. The reference has to be embedded into ${woost.X} , where X is the relative path from the template. As a first example: To reference a property Department in a chat message of the same card, you can use ${woost.parent.field.Department}. You can understand it the following way: The parent of the chat message is the card. The same is true for the property. Therefore, you reference the card (the parent) and then choose a field of the card with the name Department.

For the wild: Using $@{woost.parent.field.Department} you can automate mentions ;-)

Show / hide properties on cards

By using the table view or editing a card in the right sidebar, it is possible to define which properties should be visible on the card in the kanban board. On default, all properties are hidden to keep the kanban UI clean.

Work with filter automation filter

Using the filter capabilities of Woost can boost your productivity. If you want to customize difficult or multiple automations, it is a good idea to use the Show automation templates filter. After switching the filter on, you see the automation templates in the corresponding stages directly and can modify them without switching to the automation template modal.
