Feature since v1.7.0

# Conditional Dispatch

Events are only delivered when payload field values match configured rules; non-matching events are logged as skipped.

Define conditions per webhook+trigger. Each condition specifies a dot-notation field path, an optional type cast, an operator, and a comparison value. Free plan supports one condition per webhook with implicit AND. Pro unlocks unlimited conditions and condition groups with AND/OR logic between groups.

## Operators

`equals`, `not_equals`, `contains`, `not_contains`, `starts_with`, `ends_with`, `greater_than`, `less_than`, `is_empty`, `has_value`, `array_contains`, `object_contains`.

## Evaluate against

Conditions can be evaluated against the original pre-mapping payload or the transformed post-mapping payload. Choose per webhook in the conditions settings panel.
