Hi,

Using the GetContactsv2 connector & trying to work out if I can add a filter that looks for a specific category?

 

Thanks in advance

    You can filter the Contacts by adding an oData filter on the Category field.

    @SudeepGhatakNZ thanks for your message. Could you provide an example of what the odata query might look like?

    I can't seem to get this to work

     

    Cheers Todd

    The categories field is an array, so oData filter might be tricky.

    Try this

    The "From" in Filter action should contain "Value" (not categories). See my action

    @SudeepGhatakNZ Thanks, I'm now not getting any errors but when I run it, I am not getting the right results. It should return 1 record. This record's 2nd category is the 1 I've filtered for
