Use custom field data in an email

[Andrew Muller]

I am creating a rule that when the red label is added to a card, it is moved to the top of the list and an email notification is sent.   I am wanting to include information from custom fields in the subject line and in the body of the email notification.  Does anyone know how to do this?

@Andrew Muller welcome to the community! check out https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/butler-variables/ - it will change your life 😂

Spefically you'll want this article: https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/working-with-custom-fields/

Here's an example from those docs about how to reference custom field values in rules!

when a card is moved to list "Done" by anyone, add member @{{%Tester}} to the card, and post comment "@card Task with priority {{%Priority}} was completed and is ready for testing."

@Brittany Joiner  you are an absolute LEGEND!!!!  The above has worked a treat and I have been able to incorporate a number of custom fields into comments and into emails.  Thank you.  P.S. I even found out how to change the format of dates :-D.
