I've a zap of 3 parts, a google sheet to get data, a filter, and a discord to post a message to.
The filter states, if ‘text’ does not contain, and i placed ‘1’, do no continue to post. Yet this isn't working and the bot just posts.
Would appreciate help.

One thing to note is that when you’re building your zap, the filter you apply will only tell you if the value would or wouldn’t have passed.
It doesn’t stop you from passing it on to the next step to continue building it, the filter is only applied when you turn your zap on.
Does that make sense?

This gives me a hint as to what to do but would still love to read what you have to say about it to make it as modular as possible.
