How to differentiate between word 'time' and name 'Tim' when creating rules?

[Stacey Grigas]

I am having the worst time trying to figure this out. The worst part is I had it all settled, and played around with my rules and broke them.

What I'm trying to do: if a card contains the name Tim, label it 'Tim'. If a card does not contain Tim, but does contain the word 'time', label it 'Stacey'. If a card contains both, label 'Tim'.

What I'm running into is that when I write the word 'time', Trello picks up on the tim and automatically wants to include it in the 'Tim' label. 

Current situation: I have tried various versions of "If card name CONTAINS Tim but DOES NOT CONTAIN time, label 'Tim'"; "If card name DOES NOT CONTAIN Tim but DOES CONTAIN time, label 'Stacey'" - this is the one that doesn't seem to be working. I had it working last week. 

What am I missing?? I've also tried (and this was what worked last week) "If card name CONTAINS time but DOES NOT CONTAIN Tim, remove 'Tim' label, add 'Stacey' label. Now that same rule doesn't work.

I've cleared all older rules, there aren't any that are overriding each other.

Hi @Stacey Grigas

That's an interesting scenario! 

I think your last try was going to be successful but you should try doing backwards on your conditions. I just tried this and it seemed to work pretty well:

when a card with a name containing "Tim" with a name not containing "Time" is added to the board, add the green label to the card

With that said, there's still a margin of error for other words that start with Tim to inadvertly add the label, so maybe it'd be a better idea to change the process to make sure cards you want to have labeled as Tim are always added under the name "Tim -". The hyphen would be a good separator and make sure no other word would match it if you set it as an automation rule.

Additionally, you could have constraint on you Automation Trigger to only work on cards that specifically start or end with Tim, and adapt your workflow for that. 

Lastly, it might be easier to have a button Automation dedicated to Tim or Stacey on your cards, and have all actions such as label assignment, list allocation, etc, all taken care by the actions of that button. 

Hopefully any of those help!
