Filter
Specify a condition that your workflow must meet and whether you'd like to proceed or end workflow execution.
Integrate the Filter API with the Node API
Setup the Filter API trigger to run a workflow which integrates with the Node API. Pipedream's integration platform allows you to integrate Filter and Node remarkably fast. Free for developers.

Write custom Node.js code and use any of the 400k+ npm packages available. Refer to the Pipedream Node docs to learn more.
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.
Connect Filter#
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
let condition = false
if (condition == false) {
$.flow.exit("Ending workflow early because the condition is false")
} else {
$.export("$summary", "Continuing workflow, since condition for ending was not met.")
}
},
})Overview of Node#
Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.
This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.
Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:
Connect Node#
// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
// Return data to use it in future steps
return steps.trigger.event
},
