Filter events

Stop specific events from being sent to a destination.

Filters stop matching events from being sent to a destination.

Littledata discards the event in the pipeline, so nothing reaches the platform.

When to use filters

• Exclude internal test orders.

• Stop orders from a specific sales channel or app.

• Prevent employee purchases from inflating conversion data.

How filters work

When Littledata processes a Shopify event, it checks for saved filters first.

If the event matches the filter conditions, Littledata discards it immediately.

Filters run before modify and clone customisations. A matched filter stops all later customisations.

Create a filter

1

Open the destination Events tab

Go to Settings for the integration you want to update.

Then open Events.

2

Open an event

Click the event you want to filter, such as order_created.

3

Add a filter

Open the overflow menu and select Add filter.

4

Add trigger conditions

Define one or more trigger conditions for the filter.

5

Save the customisation

Click Save to activate the filter.

Example: Exclude test orders by email

Field	Value
Event	order_created
Destination	Google Analytics 4
Type	Filter
Condition	email is [email protected]

Example: Exclude orders from a specific app

Field	Value
Condition	app.name is Recharge Subscriptions

Multiple conditions

All conditions use AND logic.

The filter only applies when every condition passes.

If you need OR logic, create separate filters for the same event.
