# Advanced Search Filters Build precise CRM queries with multi-criteria filtering using AND/OR logic. **Example query**: "Find all AI companies with 50+ employees that we haven't contacted in 30 days" ## Filter Architecture This is the supported structure used by the `advanced-search` tool: ```json { "resource_type": "companies", "filters": { "filters": [ { "attribute": { "slug": "field_name" }, "condition": "operator", "value": "search_value" } ] } } ``` ## Real-World Examples ### Single Criteria Search ```json { "resource_type": "companies", "filters": { "filters": [ { "attribute": { "slug": "name" }, "condition": "contains", "value": "Tech" } ] } } ``` ### Multi-Criteria Power Search (AND Logic) ```json { "resource_type": "companies", "filters": { "filters": [ { "attribute": { "slug": "name" }, "condition": "contains", "value": "Tech" }, { "attribute": { "slug": "employee_count" }, "condition": "greater_than", "value": 50 }, { "attribute": { "slug": "industry" }, "condition": "equals", "value": "AI/Machine Learning" } ] } } ``` ### Flexible OR Logic ```json { "resource_type": "companies", "filters": { "filters": [ { "attribute": { "slug": "name" }, "condition": "contains", "value": "Tech" }, { "attribute": { "slug": "name" }, "condition": "contains", "value": "AI" } ], "matchAny": true } } ``` ## Smart Filter Operators | Operator | Perfect For | Example Use Case | | -------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------------- | | `contains` | Text searches | Finding companies with "Tech" in name | | `equals` | Exact matches | Specific industry classification | | `starts_with` | Prefix searches | Companies beginning with "Acme" | | `ends_with` | Suffix searches | Companies ending with "Inc" | | `greater_than` | Numerical analysis | Companies with 100+ employees | | `less_than` | Size filtering | Startups under 50 people | | `is_empty` | Data cleanup | Find records missing key information | | `is_not_empty` | Completeness checks | Records with populated fields | ## Example Fields by Team > **Note**: These are example attribute names. Your workspace may have different field slugs. Use the `attio-workspace-schema` skill or `records_discover_attributes` tool to find your actual attribute names. ### Sales Teams Common filter attributes: - **Companies**: `name`, `industry`, `employee_count`, `website` - **People**: `full_name`, `job_title`, `email` ### Marketing Teams Common engagement attributes: - **Activity**: `last_interaction`, `email_status` - **Segmentation**: `industry`, `company_size`, `location` ### Customer Success Common health metrics: - **Account**: `renewal_date`, `contract_value` - **Risk**: `last_contact`, `satisfaction_score` ## Avoid These Common Mistakes **Wrong** (Flat object structure): ```json { "filters": { "name": { "operator": "contains", "value": "Test" } } } ``` **Correct** (Nested array structure): ```json { "filters": { "filters": [ { "attribute": { "slug": "name" }, "condition": "contains", "value": "Test" } ] } } ``` ## Quick Troubleshooting **Getting "Filters must include a 'filters' array property"?** 1. Ensure your filters object contains a `filters` array 2. Each array item needs `attribute`, `condition`, and `value` 3. The `attribute` must be an object with a `slug` property 4. Double-check your JSON structure matches the examples above **Pro Tip**: Start with simple single-filter searches, then build complexity once you're comfortable with the structure. ## Related Documentation - [API Overview](../api/api-overview.md) - [Advanced Filtering API](../api/advanced-filtering.md) - [Troubleshooting Guide](../troubleshooting.md)
