Update the trigger and profile filters

When you navigate into an existing flow, you can click on the trigger card to review the flow trigger, trigger filters, and profile filters.

Note that after you set the trigger for a flow, you cannot change it. You can, however, update the trigger filters and profile filters at any time. To edit either set of filters:

1. Click on the trigger card to open the trigger setup view.
2. In the settings sidebar, click on the filter type you'd like to update, either Profile Filters or Trigger Filters.

Profile filters are available for all flows, but trigger filters are only available for flows triggered by an event (e.g., Started Checkout).

Profile filters are checked when someone first enters a flow as well as before each step and thus before each message is sent out. Filters useful in two ways:

• Targeting your flow to a specific audience
• Setting conditions which cause someone to drop out of the flow

Filters that target or restrict the entire flow to a specific audience are the same as with segmentation. You can choose from the following types of criteria:

• What someone has done (or not done)
  Check the number of times someone has taken an action in a specific timeframe.
• Properties about someone
  Check the current value of any property of field on a person's profile.
• If someone is in or not in a list
  Check if a person is currently a member of a list.
• Has not been in this flow
  Limit how often someone can be in a flow.
• Random sample
  Allows testing a flow idea by only sending it to a fraction of your audience.

See a more detailed explanation in our article on understanding flow triggers and filters.
