Automatically assign card creator to card

[Darcy Colling]

Is there a way to get Butler to automatically assign a card's creator to the card? We have due dates automated, but we can't seem to figure out how to have the creator automatically assigned.

Hi @Darcy Colling ! Yes, it's possible :) Try:

when a card is added to the board, add member @{username} to the card

Thanks Hannah, @{username} didn't work, but just adding {username} did

[Hannah Humbert - Simpla Workflows]

Yes, that's right - you just need to type the {username} variable into the textbox when creating your command.



There's already an "@" included in the action, so no need to add it twice :)

Hi, i don't know why the person who set the automation is being added and not the creator of the card. I tried 

"Join the card" 
and "add member @users to the card" will only allow me to choose specific usernames
