Do the butler automations allow for OR logic?

I want to combine multiple keywords using OR logic for Butler automations, all in one rule. For example:

when a card is added to list Intake

card name contains "learn"
OR card name contains "guide"
OR card name contains "article"
OR card name contains "tips"

move the card to the top of list "Learning"

 

Is there a way to do this without having to create separate rules for each keyword? I would really appreciate any help the community can provide. I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. Thank you in advance!

Hi @Dan Miller 

You can using a relatively unknown trick with Trello automation. It supports regex

If you are unaware of Regex, these 2 resources will explain it. 

This explains it:

https://www.regular-expressions.info/quickstart.html 

This is where you can test your regex:

For what you are trying to do above, your automation would be:

 

when a card with a name containing "regex:/learn|guide|article|tips/i", move the card to the top of list "Learning"

A little explanation:

  • To enter regex in Trello you have to put regex:/ and to exit it, you put / 
  • The i at the end makes the match case insensitive
  • In regex, to or more than one thing, you split it with character
