Overview
The Filter action is used to refine data by selecting only the items that meet specific criteria.
When a workflow deals with large datasets, the Filter action helps streamline the process by narrowing the data down to a manageable subset.
This action operates based on conditions or rules that dictate which items are included in the filtered result. This makes the workflow more efficient and focused, processing only relevant data.

For example, a Filter might be used to select only certain types of records from a database or to limit a list of items to those that meet a threshold or requirement. |
