    It appears as though that not all connectors support all of the same OData functions.  I can't find documentation on the Get Contacts action as it relates to OData filters, but it would not be surprising if substringof is not supported.

    Hi @GD20 ,

     

    Please take a try with "Filter Array" action to filter the items that you need.
