Create coming milestone cards for imminent due dates

Automatically scan project cards across Trello on a weekly schedule for due dates under seven days. Create coming milestone cards when the weekly cadence hits, the configured weekday runs, or the schedule window opens—so you can format dates, filter imminent items, and create cards without manual follow-up.
