"Only Continue If" logic Issue with array field

Hi All!

First Post…

Can I do a “Only Continue If” that only continues if a certain string of text is the only string of text in the field?

When I try “is exactly”, it continues if the exact string is found in the field, even if other text is in the field also.

I should note, the field is an array.

Thank You!

Hi @OWE

Arrays can be a bit tricky to work within in a Filter step.

Check the Filter help docs: https://zapier.com/apps/filter/help

May have to get creative and use another step to help transform the data before evaluating in a Filter step.

Perhaps a Formatter (e.g. Utilities > Line Items to Text) step or a Code step.
