Search for Hubspot deal with a negative term (When field does not match X value)

Hi @Troy Tessalone - Thanks for the quick reply!

Let me try - Assume I have a deal property called Property that can have 3 values: A, B, C and I want to find a deal that doesn’t have C as the value for that property, and I’m indifferent about whether the value is A or B such that I dont want to specify that it needs to be A or B. Is there a syntax that will give me a deal with Property not equal to C?

Thanks!

Unfortunately a filter won’t work for the use case because if there are 2 deals that match the other search criteria, one with an A value and one with a C value, and the C value was created before the A value deal, then the search will return the C value deal, not the A value deal, and the filter will prevent the rest of the tasks to execute even though there is an A value deal available. If I could explicitly search with a negation (NOT C) then the search should bring in the deal with value A. 

Appreciate your help here, could have probably wrote out the scenario more clearly from the get go.  

@Troy Tessalone Thanks again for the help here. There could be multiple values beyond that and they could also change + needing to recreate the steps afterwards for each value would also be a drag to maintain. Sounds like there isn’t anything I can do with just searching for anything but a certain value so I think my best alternative is to have a custom code zap that calls the API directly and then iterates on the results to find what I’m looking for.
