Add label on existing cards based on text

Ken K_jizw0w

I would like to find existing cards that contain a particular word in the description (ie. triads, scales) and assign a label based on the word found - so cards with the word "triad" are assigned the "orange triad" label. 

Seems easy enough... search/ filter based on a word, then add the label to the card - however I can't figure out how to do this in Butler.

I am able to use Butler to do this for new cards, however not sure how to do it on existing cards. Thanks in advance for you help.

Hello @Ken K 

No, you can't do that with Butler. If you create a rule with a Card Content trigger where the description contains certain text, on the page you will see the following warning message:

Note: This will only trigger when you create or modify a card's name or description. It will not work retro-actively for existing cards on the board, or for other members on the board (unless they create and enable their own rule).

This sort of advanced action might be possible with Benkobot.
