Create a filter

Filters are applied to a ruleset or connection, just like any other rule.

To version control your filters, consider creating or updating your connection using the API.

1. Open the configuration for a ruleset or a connection's custom rules.

2. Click

   Filter
   to add a filter rule.

3. Click Open Editor to configure the filter.

   • To add a filter for the Body, Headers, Query, or Path, select the appropriate tab above the editor.
   • In the right pane, enter the desired schema using proper filter syntax.
   • In the left pane appears the most recent payload for reference and testing purposes. This reference text is editable.

4. Once written, test your filter against the event in the left pane by clicking

   Test Filter
   . A check mark next to each section indicates the webhook would be allowed through to its destination based on the contents of that section.

5. Once satisfied, click

   Save
   .

6. Make sure to click

   Save
   again on either the ruleset or custom rule screen to apply your changes.

From this point on, any events not matching the filter are disregarded by Hookdeck, and will not appear in your list of events.
