Trigger: Item Entered a Group

The Item Entered a Group trigger fires a workflow when a Board item moves into a different group — for example, from "To do" into "In progress" or "Done". It's the right fit for reacting to stage movements on boards organized by groups.

When it fires

As soon as an item is moved into a different group within the same board.

Trigger configuration

• Board: restrict to a specific board. Empty = any board.
• Group: restrict to a specific destination group. Empty = any group.

Available variables

• $record.object_type, $record.object_id, $record.workspace_id
• $trigger.group_id (the group it entered)

Example workflow

"Alert when something enters 'In review'": Item Entered a Group trigger (Board = "Projects", Group = "In review") → "Notify team" action in Team: "Task #{{$record.object_id}} is ready for review."

Tips

• If your board uses groups as stages of a process (a simple pipeline, say), this trigger lets you build one automation per stage without parsing columns.
• Combine it with "Board Column Changed" when you also need to react to other fields on the same item, not just the group.

Troubleshooting

If it doesn't fire when moving an item between groups, verify the group configured in the filter is the DESTINATION group (where it lands), not the origin.
