OData Filter Builder

The node includes a visual builder that lets you create complex $filter queries without writing OData manually.

Simple filters

Add conditions with field, operator, and value:

Field: Name    Operator: contains    Value: Ploomes    Type: String
Field: Id      Operator: eq          Value: 12345      Type: Number

Generated result:

$filter=contains(Name,'Ploomes') and Id eq 12345

Available operators

| Operator | Description | Example | |---|---|---| | eq | Equal | Id eq 123 | | ne | Not equal | Status ne 'Closed' | | gt / ge | Greater than / Greater than or equal | Amount gt 1000 | | lt / le | Less than / Less than or equal | Amount le 5000 | | contains | Contains text | contains(Name,'test') | | startswith | Starts with | startswith(Name,'A') | | endswith | Ends with | endswith(Email,'.com') |

Custom property filters

To filter by custom fields (OtherProperties), use the dedicated builder:

FieldKey: contact_cf_123    Operator: eq    Value: test    Type: String

Generated result:

$filter=OtherProperties/any(p: p/FieldKey eq 'contact_cf_123' and p/StringValue eq 'test')

OData Expand Builder

Build complex $expand queries visually, with nesting support:

Complex example via the UI

The following expand can be built entirely through the visual builder:

$expand=Stage($select=Id,Ordination,PipelineId,LastPipelineStage),
       Status,
       Owner($select=Id,Name),
       Creator($select=Id,Name),
       Pipeline($select=Id,ForbiddenStageReturn,MustPassAllStages,Stages;$expand=Stages),
       OtherProperties($expand=CurrencyValue;$filter=FieldId eq 40006914 or FieldId eq 40006915)

How to configure

1. Expand Relations: Add each relation with its optional $select
2. Expand Nested Filters: Add filters inside expansions (e.g., filter OtherProperties by FieldId)

OData Optimization Defaults

All GET requests are automatically optimized:

| Parameter | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | $top | 1 | Limit of returned records | | $skip | 0 | Offset for pagination | | $select | Id | Returned fields (reduces payload) | | $orderby | Id | Sort order of results |

All parameters are editable — adjust as needed for your automation.
