The Filter API is a great way to build powerful workflows that can manipulate
and transform data. Here are some examples of what you can build using the
Filter API:
- A workflow that transforms data from one format to another
- A workflow that filters out data that does not meet certain criteria
- A workflow that sorts data in a specific order
- A workflow that calculates statistics or aggregates data
- A workflow that combines data from multiple sources
