Hello, I hope you understand my problem, my English is not so good:

I want save file for example:

hello_name_customer1.ai

It should move to my server, there are existing folders of customers. (customer1, customer2...)

Now I want that haze find out in file name the word "customer1" and move it into existing folder "customer1".

Is there any way?

So:

test_customer1.pdf
customer1_text_1.ai
testtest_customer1_test.pdf

move to existing folder -> customer1


Thanks

Tobi

Yes, look up "match patterns" in the manual. You can set up a custom attribute to match the customer name and then use that in a Sort into subfolder action.

Hello, sorry I tried everything.
Here again, I hope there is a solution, maybe someone have idea how exactly it works.

I have on desktop files for example:

apple_mark.pdf
Cherry_tobi.pdf
banana_hello.pdf

And I have folders (existing folders) with names

mark
tobi
hello


Now I want that the files apple_mark.pdf move to „mark“
Cherry_tobi.pdf -> tobi
banana_hello -> hello


I want that files from desktop which contains names of EXISTING folders sorted in this.
If file name on desktop contains same word as folder name, then sort in.

Possible?
