A filter in Make.com is a way to control whether the scenario should continue..
Think of it like a gatekeeper for your scenario.
It checks the data coming in and decides whether the scenario should continue based on conditions you set.
Let’s say you’re automating lead processing. You might only want to act on leads from a specific country or those who gave consent for marketing. That’s where a filter comes in.
To add a filter, you click the path between two modules in your scenario.
You’ll define the conditions—like “Country equals Spain” or “Consent equals true.”
If the data meets those conditions, the scenario moves forward towards the next module.
If not, it stops right there.
This prevents unnecessary actions and keeps your scenario efficient.
(and it saves operations too!)
Filters are super helpful when you want precise control over how and when things happen.
