Overview of Filter#
The Filter API in Pipedream allows for real-time data processing within workflows. It's designed to evaluate data against predefined conditions, enabling workflows to branch or perform specific actions based on those conditions. This API is instrumental in creating efficient, targeted automations that respond dynamically to diverse datasets. Using the Filter API, you can refine streams of data, ensuring that subsequent steps in your Pipedream workflow only execute when the data meets your specified criteria. This cuts down on unnecessary processing and facilitates the creation of more intelligent, context-aware systems.
