Filter

AutoFeeds can block feed items from being posted based on the content of an item’s fields or whether a field exists at all. Rules are set per feed.

Adding a Rule

Adds a filter rule to a feed in the current channel.

Usage: @AutoFeeds filter <url> <field> <operator> [value]

Fields

The following fields can be filtered:

• title — the item’s title
• body / description — the item’s description or summary
• link — the item’s URL
• audio — the URL of the item’s audio (podcast feeds and JSON Feeds with audio attachments)
• duration — the item’s duration (podcast-only)
• episode — the item’s episode number (podcast-only)
• season — the item’s season number (podcast-only)
• type — the item’s episode type, eg full, trailer, or bonus (podcast-only)

Podcast-only fields can only be used on podcast feeds.

Operators

• contains — the field contains the given value (case-insensitive). Requires a value.
• equals — the field equals the given value (case-insensitive). Requires a value.
• missing — the field is empty or absent.
• present — the field is not empty.
