Segment (list) filters overview

This guide provides reference material and examples for how to use filters with the segments API. If you select a SNAPSHOT or DYNAMIC segment processing type when creating a segment, use filters to determine which records are members of the segment.

List filters have conditional logic that is defined by filter branches which have AND or OR operation types. This is defined by the filterBranchType parameter.
Within these branches, there are groups of individual filters that contain logic to assess records to determine if they should be included in the segment. These are defined by the filterType parameter.
Filter branches can also have nested filter branches.

Filters

There are a variety of different filter types that can be used to build out filters in a segment’s filter definition. These filters types can be used together in different combinations to construct the logic that is needed for a particular segment definition structure. HubSpot uses PASS/FAIL logic with filters to determine if a record should be in a segment. If a record passes all filters, it will be a member of the segment.

Filter evaluation steps

To determine which records pass a segment’s filters, the following steps occur in order:

Select or fetch the relevant records based on the filter selected. For example, the property values for all records being evaluated for a property filter.
If applicable, use the pruningRefineBy parameter to refine the data to a specific time range (see Refine By Operation section).
Apply the filtering rules against the refined data to determine if the records PASS or FAIL. For example, if the filter “First Name is equal to “John"" is selected, PASS all records that have “John” for their First Name contact property.
If applicable, use the coalescingRefineBy parameter to further refine the data to a specific number of occurrences. For example, the filter “contact has filled out a form at least 2 times”.
- If a coalescingRefineBy parameter is present, then PASS records that meet the number of occurrences selected.
- If no coalescingRefineBy parameter is present, then records PASS or FAIL based on the criteria set in step 3.

Filter branches

A filter branch is a data structure used to build out the conditional logic of a segment’s definition. Filter branches are defined by a specific type, an operator, a list of filters, and a list of sub-branches. The filter branch’s operator OR or AND dictate how the filter branch will be evaluated relative to the rest of the branches. The list of filters and sub-filter branches determine which records will be members of a segment.

If the filter branch has an AND operator, then the record is accepted by the branch if it passes all the branch’s filters and is accepted by all the sub-filter branches.
If the filter branch has an OR operator, then the record is accepted by the branch if it passes any of the branch’s filters or is accepted by any of the branch’s sub-filter branches.

A record is a member of a segment if it is accepted by the root filter branch in the segment definition.

Structure

All filter definitions must start with a root-level OR filterBranchType (see filter branch types for more details). This root level OR filter branch must then have one or more AND sub-filter branches. The root-level OR filter branch can be thought of as the parent filter branch while the AND sub-filter branches can be thought of as child filter groups. Together, these branches make up the base filter branch structure.

JSON

{
  "filterBranch": {
    "filterBranches": [
      {
        "filterBranches": [],
        "filterBranchType": "AND",
        "filters": [
          // can have filters here
        ]
      }
      // can have more filterBranches here
    ],
    "filterBranchType": "OR",
    "filters": []
  }
}

For example, to create a segment of contacts who have the first name “John” OR do not have the last name “Smith”, the POST body would be:

JSON

{
  "filterBranch": {
    "filterBranchType": "OR",
    "filters": [],
    "filterBranches": [
      {
        "filterBranchType": "AND",
        "filters": [
          {
            "filterType": "PROPERTY",
            "property": "firstname",
            "operation": {
              "operationType": "MULTISTRING",
              "operator": "IS_EQUAL_TO",
              "values": ["John"]
            }
          }
        ],
        "filterBranches": []
      },
      {
        "filterBranchType": "AND",
        "filters": [
          {
            "filterType": "PROPERTY",
            "property": "lastname",
            "operation": {
              "operationType": "MULTISTRING",
              "operator": "IS_NOT_EQUAL_TO",
              "values": ["Smith"]
            }
          }
        ],
        "filterBranches": []
      }
    ]
  }
}

In the above example, there is one parent OR filterBranchType parameter with two nested AND filterBranchType parameters. The nested filter branches each have one filterType that sets the criteria for the segment.

The two filterType parameters are nested within AND filter branches, rather than directly within an OR filter branch. This structure is enforced by HubSpot’s API so that the segment’s filters can be properly rendered in the HubSpot user interface.

To create a segment of contacts who have the first name “John” and the last name “Smith”:

{
  "filterBranch": {
    "filterBranchType": "OR",
    "filters": [],
    "filterBranches": [
      {
        "filterBranchType": "AND",
        "filters": [
          {
            "filterType": "PROPERTY",
            "property": "firstname",
            "operation": {
              "operationType": "MULTISTRING",
              "operator": "IS_EQUAL_TO",
              "values": ["John"]
            }
          },
          {
            "filterType": "PROPERTY",
            "property": "lastname",
            "operation": {
              "operationType": "MULTISTRING",
              "operator": "IS_EQUAL_TO",
              "values": ["Smith"]
            }
          }
        ],
        "filterBranches": []
      }
    ]
  }
}

In the above example, there is one parent OR filterBranchType with one nested AND filterBranchType. The AND filterBranchType has two filterType parameters, one for each criteria.

Filtering on events and associated objects

There are two special versions of AND filterBranchType parameters:

UNIFIED_EVENTS: used to filter on events.
ASSOCIATION: used to filter on records that are associated with the primary record being evaluated.

These branches should be used within an AND filter branch. For example:

{
  "filterBranches": [
    {
      "filterBranches": [
        {
          "filterBranchType": "UNIFIED_EVENTS",
          "filterBranchOperator": "AND",
          "filters": [
            // must have one or more filters here
          ]
          // additional UNIFIED_EVENTS filter branch details omitted
        },
        {
          "filterBranchType": "ASSOCIATION",
          "filterBranchOperator": "AND",
          "filters": [
            // may have one or more filters here
          ],
          "filterBranches": [
            // may have another ASSOCIATION branch here if filtering based on line item properties from a contact segment
          ]
          // additional ASSOCIATION filter branch details omitted
        }
      ],
      "filterBranchOperator": "AND",
      "filterBranchType": "AND",
      "filters": [
        // can have filters here
      ]
    }
    // can have more filterBranches here
  ],
  "filterBranchOperator": "OR",
  "filterBranchType": "OR",
  "filters": []
}

Filter branch types

Below, review the different filterBranchType parameters that can be used to construct your segment’s filter definition structure.

OR filter branch

Begin your filter definition structure with an OR filterBranchType. It is used to apply OR conditional logic against records that are accepted by the nested AND filter branches. OR filter branches:

Must have one or more AND type sub-filter branches.
Cannot have any filters.

If a record is accepted by any of its nested filter branches, an OR filter branch will accept the record as well.

{
  "filterBranchType": "OR",
  "filterBranches": [], // One or more nested AND filter branches
  "filters": [] // Zero filters
}

AND filter branch

The AND filterBranchType is used as a nested filter branch within the parent OR filter branch. All filter definitions must have at least one AND filter branch for it to be valid. It is used to apply AND conditional logic against the records that pass evaluation as defined by its filters and have also been accepted by nested filter branches. AND filter branches:

Can have zero or more filters.
Can have zero or more nested UNIFIED_EVENTS and/or ASSOCIATION filterBranchType parameters.

An AND filter branch accepts a record if the record is accepted by all of its nested filter branches and the record passes all filters in the filter branch.

{
  "filterBranchType": "AND",
  "filterBranches": [], // Zero or more nested UNIFIED_EVENTS or ASSOCIATION filter branches
  "filters": [] // Zero or more filters
}

UNIFIED_EVENTS filter branch

The UNIFIED_EVENTS filterBranchType can only be used as a nested filter branch within an AND filterBranchType. It is used to determine which records have or have not completed a given unified event. UNIFIED_EVENTS type filter branches:

Can have one or more PROPERTY type filters.
Cannot have any additional filter branches.

A UNIFIED_EVENTS filter branch accepts a record if the record passes all filters on the filter branch and the criteria defined by the UNIFIED_EVENTS filter branch.

{
  "filterBranchType": "UNIFIED_EVENTS",
  "filterBranches": [], // Zero filter branches
  "filters": [], // Zero or more filters
  "eventTypeId": "0-1",
  "operator": "HAS_COMPLETED"
}

Parameter	Accepted Values
`operator`	`HAS_COMPLETED`, `HAS_NOT_COMPLETED`

ASSOCIATION filter branch

The ASSOCIATION filterBranchType can only be used as a nested filter branch within an AND filterBranchType. It is used to filter on records which are associated with the primary record being evaluated. ASSOCIATION filter branches:

Must have one or more filters.
Cannot have any additional nested filter branches.

An ASSOCIATION filter branch accepts a record if it is accepted by all of its nested filter branches and if the record PASSES all filters of the filter branch. You can only have additional filterBranches in the case of a CONTACT to LINE_ITEM association.

{
  "filterBranchType": "ASSOCIATION",
  "filterBranches": [], // Zero or one nested ASSOCIATION filter branches
  "filters": [], // Zero or more filters
  "objectTypeId": "0-1",
  "operator": "IN_LIST",
  "associationTypeId": 280,
  "associationCategory": "HUBSPOT_DEFINED"
}

Parameter	Accepted Values
`operator`	`IN_LIST`
`associationCategory`	`HUBSPOT_DEFINED`, `USER_DEFINED`, `INTEGRATOR_DEFINED`

Property filter operations

When filtering for records with the PROPERTY, INTEGRATION_EVENT, or SURVEY_MONKEY_VALUE filter type, you’ll include an operation object to define the parameters of the filter. This object can contain the following fields:

operationType: the type of operator that you’re filtering by (e.g., NUMBER). Each type of property supports a set of operation types, and each operation type supports a set of operators, which you’ll define with the operator field. (e.g., IS and IS_NOT).
operator: the operator that will be applied to operationType (e.g., IS and IS_NOT). Each property type supports a set of operators.
value / values: the value or values to filter by. Some operators can accept one value, while others can accept multiple values in an array.
includeObjectsWithNoValueSet: defines how the operation should treat records that do not have a value set for the defined property.
- If true, a record without a value for the evaluated property will be accepted.
- If false (default), a record without a value for the evaluated property will be rejected.

For example, the filter below would filter for contacts with a firstname property value of John.

"filters": [
    {
      "filterType": "PROPERTY",
      "property": "firstname",
      "operation": {
        "operationType": "MULTISTRING",
        "operator": "IS_EQUAL_TO",
        "values": ["John"]
      }
    }

Refine by operation

There are two types of refine by operations that can be used in certain filters:

pruningRefineBy: refine the data set to a particular timeframe.
coalescingRefineBy: determines whether the record PASSES the filter the number of times defined.

Filters only support up to one refine by operation at a time, even if some filters allow for both a coalescing and pruning refine by operation to be passed in. This is enforced by HubSpot’s API.

Pruning Refine By operations

Pruning refine by operations are used to narrow down the dataset that will be used for filter evaluation by refining the dataset to a particular timeframe. Pruning refine by operations are classified into two types: relative and absolute.

Relative: narrow the dataset down based on a time offset of a number of days or weeks in the past or in the future.
Absolute: narrow the dataset down based on the data being before or after a specific timestamp

For both relative and absolute refine by operations, there are ranged and comparative derivatives.

Absolute Comparative timestamp

Used to narrow the relevant dataset down based on whether the timestamp of the data being evaluated is before or after a specific timestamp as defined by the refine by operation.

{
  "type": "ABSOLUTE_COMPARATIVE",
  "comparison": "BEFORE",
  "timestamp": 1698915170126
}

Parameter	Description
`comparison`	Whether the data’s timestamp is before or after the defined `timestamp`. Values include:`BEFORE`, `AFTER`

Absolute Ranged timestamp

Used to narrow the relevant dataset down based on whether the timestamp of the data being evaluated is between or is not between an upper and lower bound timestamp as defined by the refine by operation.

{
  "type": "ABSOLUTE_RANGED",
  "rangeType": "BETWEEN",
  "lowerTimestamp": 1698915170126,
  "upperTimestamp": 1682406908449
}

Parameter	Description
`rangeType`	Whether the data’s timestamp is between or not between the defined `lowerTimestamp`and `upperTimestamp`. Values include:`BETWEEN`, `NOT_BETWEEN`

Relative Comparative timestamp

Used to narrow the relevant dataset down based on whether the timestamp of the data being evaluated is before or after a certain number of days or weeks in the past or future relative to the current timestamp as defined by the refine by operation.

{
    "type": "RELATIVE_COMPARATIVE",
    "comparison": "BEFORE",
    "timeOffset": [
 "offsetDirection": "PAST",
    "timeUnit": "DAYS",
    "amount": 4
],
}

Parameter	Description
`comparison`	Whether the data’s timestamp is before or after the defined `timeOffset` values. Values include: `BEFORE`, `AFTER`
`offsetDirection`	Values include:`PAST`, `FUTURE`
`timeUnit`	Values include:`DAYS`, `WEEKS`
`amount`	A number value.

Relative Ranged timestamp

Used to narrow the relevant dataset down based on whether the timestamp of the data being evaluated is between or is not between an upper and lower bound time offset relative to the current timestamp. The time offsets are a certain number of days or weeks in the past or the future as defined by the refine by operation.

{
    "type": "RELATIVE_RANGED",
    "rangeType": "BETWEEN",
    "timeOffset": [
 "offsetDirection": "PAST",
    "timeUnit": "DAYS",
    "amount": 4
],
}

Parameter	Description
`rangeType`	Whether the data’s timestamp is between or not between the defined `timeOffset` values. Values include: `BETWEEN`, `NOT_BETWEEN`
`offsetDirection`	Values include:`PAST`, `FUTURE`
`timeUnit`	Values include:`DAYS`, `WEEKS`
`amount`	A number value.

Coalescing Refine By operations

Coalescing refine by operations are used once the filter criteria has been applied to the relevant dataset. The only coalescing refine by operation supported by the Lists API is a “number of occurrences” operation that determines whether an object in the dataset PASSED the filter evaluation at least a minimum number of times and less than a maximum number of times.

{
  "type": "NUM_OCCURRENCES",
  "minOccurrences": 1, // Optional
  "maxOccurrences": 4 // Optional
}

Parameter	Description
`NUM_OCCURRENCES`	Used to determine whether an object in the relevant dataset PASSED the filter evaluation at least a minimum number of times (or zero times if a minimum is not provided) and at most a maximum number of times (or any number of times if a maximum is not provided) as defined by the refine by operation.
