Copy map location address to a custom field

[Hannah Humbert]

Is there a way to take the address entered into the default location field and populate a custom field with that address? I can see there is no variable for this so it seems like I can't achieve this using butler automation.

For context, I'm wanting to use the address for other integrations/automations e.g. changing the card title to the address when it's copied to another board, or pre-populating a jotform with the address.

You are correct. You will have to use Trello API via a http request

Thank you for your reply. Do you know if it's possible to achieve this using Butler? I tried the following:

put to URL:

https://api.trello.com/1/cards/{cardid}/customField/680766d760c2f606fd47a8d3/item?key={api_key}&token={token}" with payload "{\"value\":{\"text\":\"{{cardlocation}}"}}

But getting a null response. Maybe {{cardlocation}} is the wrong variable? 

P.s. I am not a dev, so this is a bit over my head.

Try https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/trello/rest/api-group-cards/#api-cards-id-field-get

I can see "locationName" but it doesn't seem to work. This is what I'm inputting into the payload: 

{"value":{"text":"{{locationName}}"}}

I'm using a card button to trigger the action, and it's not throwing any errors when triggering the button; it says it has run successfully, but it's not returning anything in the custom field. If I hard code it to {"value":{"text":"Test Location"}} that works fine, so I know it's the variable that's not working.

@milynnus any ideas with this one? Appreciate your help :)

If you are using http request,  {httpresponse} variable if the api executes correctly.

https://api.trello.com/1/cards/681c559.....5d309e/address?key=9e3.....e98&token=ATTA1...

Based on the the variable would be {httpresponse._value}. You need test it out on your actual automation as this is just using POSTMAN
