Search by Provide values for each attribute you wish to filter. Only entries that match all the values will be processed.
Entry search filter Use this to filter the entries to be processed by this trigger. This is similar to Search by. However, this allows you to use LDAP syntax to perform more complex conditionals. Use this input if you need to filter using compound conditionals or nested conditionals.
