Filter

Filter data based on a condition to keep only the required records.

The Filter component allows you to control which records move forward in a flow by applying one or more conditions. It is useful when you want to keep only specific data, for example, filtering orders above a certain amount, or selecting customers from a specific region.

When to Use the Filter Component?

Use the Filter when you need to:

• Pass only relevant records to the next step

• Remove data that doesn’t meet your conditions

• Clean, refine, or segment data before processing

How to Configure the Filter Component?

Follow this step-by-step guide to configure the Filter component within a flow:

Step 1: Add the Filter Component

• Inside your flow, click Add Step.

• Select Flow Transformation → Filter.

• Place it after the step whose output you want to filter.

Step 2: Configure Filter Conditions

In the Configure section, select the list you want to filter, choose the field (Key) to check, set the condition, and provide the value to match.

Example Configuration (Slack – Filter Channels)

In this example, the flow starts with a Slack connector using Get Channels, and you apply a filter to keep only the channel matching a specific Channel ID.

• List: {{steps.getChannels.output.channels}}

• Key: id

• Condition: Equals

• Value: <example_channel_id>

This will return only the channel that matches the given Channel ID.

Step 3: Add Multiple Conditions (Optional)

You can add more than one condition using the 'Add New Condition' feature.

You can also choose whether conditions use AND or OR logic.

Example

Filter Slack channels where:

• is_private = true AND

• name Contains marketing

Multiple conditions can be applied to refine the filtered results further.

Step 4: Test the Filter

Use the Test button to preview the filtered output and verify that the correct channel is returned.

Step 5: Use Filtered Data in Next Steps

The filtered result becomes the output of the Filter step and can be used in the following steps, such as sending a Slack message only to that channel.

⭐ Best Practices

• Test your filter after configuring it.

• Keep condition values accurate.

• Rename the Filter step for clarity (e.g., Filter: Target Slack Channel).
