Heya! Thanks for the help! I’m having another problem now tho

Why is this filter not working?

This is the message I’m trying to filter 

Everything seems alright to me, could someone help me out?

Hi there ​@Baianic,

It looks like you’re using the incorrect data in the last field of the filter step. Could you please try only typing Asked: Refined Metal. You can learn more about filter rule types here: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496180919949-Filter-and-path-rules-in-Zaps

Kindly give it a try and let me know how it goes? I'll keep an eye out for your response!

Heya! Thanks for the answer!

I tried how you sended it and the error still remains:

​@Baianic 

The Filter step warning indicates the Zap step 1 example data would not meet the Filter step conditions.

Post screenshots of the raw Embeds Description returned from Discord in Zap step 1 for us to have true context.

This is the raw embed description

​@Baianic 

The Filter condition would need to match the format of the data coming from Discord.

You may have to add a Formatter or Code step before the Filter step to be able to parse out the desired data points to then use in the Filter condition.

What would be the best option to use in this case? I tried using the formatter but couldnt get it to work!

​@Baianic 

As an example, check the screenshots, you would need to have the Filter step condition values match for the expected values.

Zapier Filter step conditions do not support regex for dynamic matching.

Hey ​@Baianic 👋 

Did you get the filter working in the end? 

If not, it looks like you’d need to adjust the value in the filter as it actually comes through from Discord as [Refined Metal]:

So in the Filter you’d need to use [Refined Metal] instead of Asked: Refined Metal. Like so:

That should allow it to pick up the presence of [Refined Metal] mentioned anywhere within that Embeds Description field.

Hope that helps. Keen to ensure you’re all set here so please keep us updated on how things are going! 🙂
