Hi @Tammy Shi ! Welcome to the community It is possible to pull certain things from the description and have that word or phrase populate a custom field using wildcards. For example:
when the description of a card contains "{* }@{* }", set custom field "Email" to "{wildcard1}@{wildcard2}"
The only issue with this is you're relying on the body of the email to contain the sender's email address, so if someone doesn't include their email in their signature, you'll be left with a blank custom field.The more reliable option would be to use Zapier instead of Trello's email to board function. I'm assuming there's a way to map the sender email field to a custom field in Trello.
It's amazing, it works well. really great. Thanks a million for your response.
By the way, what is Zapier? And is there any documentation talks about those parameters and format I can used in the rules?
You're welcome 😊 glad that's working for you! Zapier is an automation tool that allows you to create "if this then that" automations. So for example, if you receive a new email, then create a new Trello card. You can then map information from the email into the Trello's card's fields. It's just a more in-depth integration compared to the native email to board functionality. There's a bit of information here.

Hi Jay, I am trying to get this to work for me.
Where you have "mailto" above, does that represent something that resides in your description?
