Mastering Email Address Filtering in Make.com

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you have an array of email addresses (the attendees of a Google Calendar event) and you need to remove any email addresses that have a domain like @example.com? This is a common problem that many Make.com users face when they need to process the remaining email addresses, if there are any.

One might think that they’d be able to use != in the map() filter criteria to achieve this, but Make doesn’t seem to like that - it removes the != operator. This can be quite frustrating, especially when you don’t think you can just use a filter here, as the scenario should continue running even if there are no attendees with an email address that doesn’t contain @example.com.

So, what's the solution?

Well, you can try to use filter and have two routes with two different filters. This might require you to restructure your scenario, but it's a small price to pay for getting the results you need.

Conclusion

In conclusion, while Make.com might not allow you to use != in the map() filter criteria, there are other ways to achieve your goal. By using filter and having two routes with two different filters, you can successfully remove any email addresses that have a domain like @example.com from your array. So, don't let this challenge discourage you - with a little bit of creativity and persistence, you can overcome it!
