Query Operators and Functions

Query Operators

OPERATOR SAMPLE RESPONDED RECORDS
= string_0 = "test" Records where the field line value before the operator and the string after the operator match.
!= string_0 != "test" Records where the field line value before the operator and the string after the operator don't match.
> number_0 > 10 Records where the field line value before the operator is greater than the value after the operator.
< number_0 < 10 Records where the field line value before the operator is less than the value after the operator.
>= number_0 >= 10 Records where the field line value before the operator is greater than or equal to the value after the operator.
<= number_0 <= 10 Records where the field line value before the operator is less than or equal to the value after the operator.
in dropdown_0 in ("A", "B") Records where the field line value before the operator matches any of the strings listed in the brackets after the operator.

This expression can be used to find what choices have been selected for fields that have multiple selections, such as Drop-down fields and Radio button fields.

The sample on the left responds records where the the options "A" or "B" have been selected for the "dropdown_0" field.
not in dropdown_0 not in ("A", "B") Records where the field line value before the operator don't matches any of the strings listed in the brackets after the operator.

This expression can be used to find what choices have not been selected for fields that have multiple selections, such as Drop-down fields and Radio button fields.

The sample on the left responds records where the the options "A" or "B" haven't been selected for the "dropdown_0" field.
like Single_line_text_0 like "test" Records where the string after the operator is included in the field line value before the operator.

If an Attachment field is specified, records where the string after the operator is included in the file name or the contents of the file will be responded.
not like Single_line_text_0 not like "test" Records where the string after the operator is not included in the field line value after the operator.
or number_0 < 10 or number_0 > 20 Records where the expression on either side of the or is true.

The sample on the left responds records where the value of "number_0" is less than 10, or greater than 20.
and number_0 >= 10 and number_0 <= 20 Records where the expression on both sides of the or is true.

The sample on the left responds records where the value of "number_0" is greater than or equal to 10, and less than or equal to 20.
  • Field codes are to be placed before the operator, not after it.
  • Formulas can be grouped by using "()" brackets, for example: (number_0 >= 10 and number_0 <= 20) or (number_1 >= 100 and number_1 <= 200)

Specifying fields within Related Record fields

  • Specify fields within the Related Records field with the following format: relatedrecords.specifiedfield
    where relatedrecords is the field line of the Related Records field, and specifiedfield is the field line of the specified field.

Query Options

The below options can be used in conjunction.

OPTION SAMPLE DESCRIPTION
order by order by Updated_Datetime asc The order of the record output is sorted based on the value of the field line after the option. "asc" will sort the records in ascending order, and "desc" will sort the records in descending order.
limit limit 20 The number of records outputted is determined by the value after this option. The initial number is 100 records, and the maximum is 500.
offset offset 30 This skips outputting the first number of records. The example on the left skips the first 30 records, and outputs from the 31st record. The maximum is 10000.

  • the field Multi_choice includes the value "value3" or the field Radio_button includes the value "value4"

Sample 3

  • the field Time is less than the value "19:00"
  • the field Created_datetime is equal to today's date
