Hey there, friends! I wanted to pop in and summarize some of the recommendations here!
Filter: Starts with this filter is NOT case sensitive.
[ADVANCED] You may have to use a Code step before a Filter step to do that comparison: https://zapier.com/apps/code/help
Nick mentions an alternative to code here:
Hi
As an alternative to what Troy suggested above, you could check out the Extract Pattern function of our Formatter by Zapier app. I don’t know the exact RegEx you would use, but I thought I’d mention it in case you felt more comfortable with that than Python or Javascript.
Andy also had this recommendation to consider to avoid wasting tasks:
If you need this to happen straight after the trigger so you’re not wasting tasks, it might be worth looking to see if there’s a way to calculate this at the point of sale - So you have a true value to filter on.
I hope this helps!

I pretty much need to do it INSIDE the filter step.
If I do it before i end up wasting a lot of tasks.

I don’t think it’s possible with the filter step alone without specifying every condition explicitly.
