Optional - Setting up a Filter

Filters can also be utilized to only allow specific Participants to flow from Lofty to Utility Connect. To set up a Filter like above:

1. Press the box that says "No Filter". Select the field that you would like to use as the criteria for the sync.
2. Choose your logic statement in the middle box. In order for a Participant to sync, it needs to make this statement equal "True." Common choices include "Contains" or "does not contain".
3. Choose your value that completes the statement and acts as the "key" that allows a Lead to pass through.

In the example above, only Participants whose Tags contain "utility connect" will sync over.

Additional Filters can be added by pressing "Advanced mode" and then "Add filter." These will be additional critiera that a Lead has to meet in order to sync (additional locks requiring keys).

There is also an option to add additional rules to the Filter; these are additional "keys" that will allow Leads to pass through.
