I need to fill a custom field with the first name on the card, using the "any" rule (as long as the automation works). Can anyone help me?

Hi @Weslley de paula ,

Welcome to the Community! You could use a solution like Zapier to automate this. If your card has a title with a first name like 'Wesley - this is my task', you could have a trigger with every new Trello , that split the text on spaces, takes index [0], and updates the custom field with it.  Zapier has a copilot feature where you can prompt your use case and it will draft the Zap (workflow) for you E.g. use this prompt:

"Build this workflow for me: "From a Trello card name that looks like: Wesley de Paula – Lead from website" I want to Trigger on new Trello card Split text on spaces. Take index [0]. Update a custom field.  Here are the steps:
1. Trigger: New Card in trello

2. Action: Text - Split Text in formatter

3. Action: Update Card Custom Field in trello

Please use these exact apps and actions."
