Filters overview

Filters allow you to permit and route webhooks conditionally based on the contents of their Headers, Body, Query, or Path.

The two most common uses of filters are:

• Allowing only webhooks with useful information to pass through to a destination.
• Routing webhooks to different destinations based on their contents, as in a fan out approach.

Filters utilize JSON, and support matching on any value (string, number, boolean, null), on nested objects, and on arrays. There is also support for special operators. For a full rundown of supported schema, see filter syntax.

Filter limitations

Filters were designed for JSON payloads. To filter XML payloads, please first transform the payload to JSON.

Basic, non-structured filters, such as partial or exact matches on strings, will function with XML payloads.
