# Filter
## Description **What it does: Filter** evaluates one or more conditions and lets the workflow continue only if the conditions pass.\ Unlike **Branch**, it does not create multiple paths; it’s a single **gate** in your flow. Use **Filter** when you need a yes/no checkpoint (e.g., “only proceed for paid users”, “skip if file isn’t PDF”, “run when score ≥ 0.8”).\ Use **Branch** when you need different actions for different outcomes.\ \ Add more rules with **+ And** (all must pass) or group alternatives with **+ Or Group** (any group that passes allows continuation). ## Component settings ### Tab "Config"

### Tab "Preview" Use **Preview** to test your rule set against example inputs from recent runs. * True → the flow continues to the next node. * **False** → the run stops at Filter (no error; it is intentionally gated). ## Advanced configurations This component has no advanced configurations. ## Use case Filter - Allow flow run if "Field" contains value = 2 * Only continue if = @ trigger.field * Condition = (Text) Contains * Value = 2 Set up at the "Filter" node
The result: * (1) When Field = 3 -> false
* (2) When Field = 2 -> True
