How to use filter code

Our filter code editor just got better.

More functional view

Gone are the days of scrolling down to the bottom of the page to find the available ingredients and variables. We have moved the available service options to the right side of the screen! Simply hover and click on any option to copy it to your clipboard. Right-click and paste in the appropriate spot within your filter code editor to integrate it in your code.

Easily copy & paste from the variable options

New Code Generators

Now you can create custom javascript without writing and code! Use our new code generators on the right side of the page. With those generators, you can run or skip actions between certain times and run or skip on a certain day. You can also check for a specific keyword and limit your action to run only when that keyword is present.

New format code button

Transform any code you’ve written into our editor into readable and organized code with the new Format code button!

Autocomplete improvements

When you’re writing Javascript code directly in the code editor, variables will automagically appear for you to choose from. Autocomplete includes additional information about the ingredient itself.

At any time, you can hover over elements within your filter code editor screen to find out more about the type of ingredient and to even see examples.
