Filter Prompt

Use AI to narrow down a list of meetings, contacts, companies, or calendar events to only the ones that match criteria you describe in plain language.

Filter Prompt node in the workflow builder

What It Does

Takes a list of objects (meetings, calendar events, people, or companies) and your natural-language filter description, then evaluates each item and returns only the ones that match. Each object is loaded with its full details automatically based on the object type you choose.

When To Use It

Use this when you have a list of items from an earlier node, like Search Past Meetings, and you only want to act on a subset, for example "meetings where pricing was discussed" or "contacts from enterprise companies." It saves you from writing a Conditional Prompt for every item individually.

Configuration

Configure the node with these settings:

Field

What it controls

Related Object Type

Related Objects

The list of objects to evaluate, typically wired in from an earlier node's output. Required.

Filter Prompt

Describe what should be included, such as "Include only contacts from enterprise companies." Required.

Model

Which LLM evaluates each item. Choose default, lite, creative, analytical, or a specific model. Defaults to default.

Outputs

The node passes these values downstream. Check the Outputs tab on the configured node to confirm exact paths.
