Builder: Filter

How to filter out the inaccurate results during the workflow execution

Filters enable you to clarify conditions for proceeding with the workflow execution.

If the data doesn’t match the filter the workflow execution is terminated.

It’s important to clean your output data and ensure there are no irrelevant or empty fields.

Depending on the data type, different filter conditions could be applied.

Setting Up Filters

How filter looks like

The filter consists of conditions and relationships between them.

Filter Condition

The singular rule for input data to match.

It consists of:

Input variable

Data point variable, which is being filtered.

Match class

they’re different for texts/links and numbers.

Match type

Could be compared to another variable or to regular text.

/

Match Content

We compare our input variable to it.

Could be provided manually or other data point variable.

Conditions Relationships

Could be 2 types:

1) AND.

If two or more conditions are related to the “AND” option, it means that ALL of them should be met by input data to pass the filter.

2) OR

If two or more conditions are related to the “OR” option, it means that ANY of them should be met by input data to pass the filter.

Adding and removing conditions

To add a new filter condition, click the “New Condition” button.

To remove the filter condition, click the “X” icon in the top right of the condition block.

The first condition can’t be removed. If you don’t need any of the filter conditions to work, just remove the filter block from the workflow itself.

As we learn all the basic elements of the workflow, let’s build one.
