Can I filter if a name IS NOT capitalized?

New order in shopify

Filter if “name” starts with “N”

Continue if name starts with “n”

Hey there, friends! I wanted to pop in and summarize some of the recommendations here! 

Filter: Starts with this filter is NOT case sensitive.

 Nick mentions an alternative to code here:

Hi @Myselfie ApS!

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! 


@Myselfie ApS 
Just checking in to see if you still need help with this? 


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

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