What is a Filter and How do I use it?

Created by Janardhan Baskar, Modified on Mon, 22 Jul at 9:31 PM by Janardhan Baskar

A filter is used to control when an action should be performed. It allows you to set conditions that must be met for the workflow to continue. Filters help ensure that only relevant data triggers an action, thus preventing unnecessary executions. 

For example, you can set a filter to add data to Google Sheets only if a form entry contains a specific keyword.

Here is a list of filters you can use:
