Automation: Apply an action if card is NOT found by name

[Olivia]

How can I create a Buttler automation with an action triggered af card is not found, let's say by name

I know how to do something with a card found, but how to, let's say create if it doesn't exist, and avoid creation if exists?

I'd loveeeee if we could do some if logic and paths in trello automation. Future dream for sure. Depending on what you're trying to do @DiMaggio Tucci 's suggestion could work for you!

Instead of create a NEW card, you can specify create a UNIQUE card. This will create the card only if it is not found.

According to Trello, "By default, this action creates a new card. If you select the unique option, the card will be created only if one with the same title doesn't exist in the list (otherwise, the automation will stop and no further actions will be executed)."

So then you would have a second automation which tries to find the card, which, to my knowledge, would not run if it doesn't find the card. And your first automation would not run if it does find the card. 

However, this approach will create the card if it is not found.
