Patchworks filters

When you are pulling data from BigCommerce, filters can be used to refine the data that is pulled. Available filter options vary, depending on which entity type is being synced (for example: orders, products, customers, etc.).

For general information about working with filters in Patchworks, please see our service filters page.

Time period filters

A common scenario for filters is to process records created/modified in the last x minutes/hours/days, or within a given timeframe. For BigCommerce, the following time period filter fields are available:

Summary

  • Min Date Created

  • Min Date Modified

  • Max Date Created

  • Max Date Modified

The maximum date and time for which you want to retrieve records for processing. This parameter can be used to filter results so that you only get data that was created/modified before or up to the specified date and time.
