Hi all,

I’m building a Zap that automates Trello card handling based on VIN numbers (stelnummer) parsed from emails. Here’s my flow:

  1. Email Parser extracts the VIN from incoming emails – works perfectly.

  2. Find Card in Trello searches for the VIN in a specific list – works if the VIN is in the card title.

  3. Move Card to List in Trello
     - Works with static card selection
     - Works with custom card ID only on the test card – fails with other cards

What I’m trying to do:

  • Parse a VIN from email

  • Find the matching Trello card

  • Move it to another list

Any help appreciated!

Hi ​@MT95 

In Zap step 3, the Card field expects the ID of the Card, rather than the Name of the Card.

Help link about using dropdown fields: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496241696141-Add-custom-values-to-dropdown-menu-fields-in-Zaps

 

Yes, that is working. But only for that specific id. Not for other cards. As you see i’ve attached screenshots showing, that i’ve already done this.. 

​@MT95 

No new screenshots were attached for us to reference about the changes made to use a variable for the Trello Card ID rather than the Trello Card Name.

Hi ​@MT95,
 
We just wanted to see how everything is going with your Zap. Did Troy's recommendation get the job done? Feel free to reach out if you need further assistance with your Zap. We're glad to address any concerns and assist you.
 
We're looking forward to your response.

I attached this in the first post. 
If i do it like this it works with custom card ID only on the test card – fails with other cards

Hi ​@MT95,

 

It looks like your Zap is only working with a test card due to potential mismatches in data or configuration with other cards. To fix this, ensure the Card ID used is valid for all cards, verify that all mapped fields exist and are consistently formatted across your cards, and check for any significant data differences between the test card and the others.

If you still have issues after checking these points, you may contact Zapier support for additional assistance.
