List Automation, Zapier, and Woocommerce

Question

I know there is a rule "when list ______ has exactly ____ cards" do this.... but the list name field has to have a name. is there a way to say any list instead of specific list?

The goal is to have a website order come in, that order creates a list using zapier, the orders items are the cards. each card has a checklist. when the check list is complete, the card is archived. when a list has 0 cards left, the list can be archived. this would then communicate with zapier again and then update the order on the backend of the website.

Also, is there a way to automate archiving a list?

You have to try it because wildcard cannot be used in all places within Trello automation. I am aware it works on card name and description and it might not work for list in some cases. I remembered trying to move card into a {*} list and I recall it works.

so if i use "when list {*} has exactly 0 cards" this will look at all lists, and if it has 0 cards it will do the next step, is that what you are describing?

What you have described is a common use case. Specific to your enquiry to para I check up on use of wildcards. In Trello you insert {*} eg where card name on contains {*}<{*}> and it will return values as variables {wildcard1} and {wildcard2}
