I’m using a Text Parser module to extract text from websites (HTTP request Module) and everything is working fine through JSON to AirTable. But I want to insert a filter to ensure that a keyword is in the body text - so no files without that word get through.

Here is the extracted text which visibly includes the word I want to be required “Dylan”:

And here is the filter I added before the extracted text gets handed to a ChatGPT module

By my understanding this item should get let through successfully, but it fails - every one I try fails even when the word Dylan is present. Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Hi @The_FM_Co  
You just have to reverse the variables . It should be {{text}} contains Dylan.

the issue is with the way your filter is set up. Instead of checking for Dylan incorrectly, you need to structure your condition as **“{{text}} contains Dylan”** to ensure the system properly identifies and allows only those entries that include the word **Dylan**. Filters work by scanning the text for a match, so if it’s not set up correctly, it might block everything—even the ones that should pass. Try reversing the logic in your filter settings, and it should work as expected!
