Does Not Contain

Estimated reading: 2 minutes

Use Does Not Contain conditional logic to send data to the receiver only when a submitted form value does not include a specific substring. It is the opposite of Contains.

How it works

  • The plugin looks for the comparison string anywhere inside the submitted value.
  • The check is case-sensitive: searching for spam will not match SPAM.
  • If the substring is not found, the rule passes and the integration runs.

Example 1 — Block messages containing a banned word

  1. Open your integration and scroll to Conditional Logic.
  2. Field: message.
  3. Operator: Does Not Contain.
  4. Value: casino.

Any submission whose message contains the word “casino” will be skipped; everything else will be forwarded.

Example 2 — Exclude internal email addresses from your CRM

Field: email  ·  Operator: Does Not Contain  ·  Value: @yourcompany.com.

Submissions from your own staff (recognised by their email domain) won’t pollute your prospects list.

Notes & caveats

  • Case-sensitive substring match. “Casino” and “casino” are different. If you need to catch all casings, layer multiple Does Not Contain rules with All.
  • Whole-word matching is not supported. Filtering on cat will also reject category or concatenate. Pick distinctive substrings or use a longer phrase.
  • Empty fields pass the rule (no substring exists, so “Does Not Contain” is vacuously true). Pair with an Equal To non-empty rule if you want to require a value.
