# Filters

{% hint style="warning" %}
**This documentation site is deprecated. Please visit the control panel at** [**https://monitorss.xyz** ](https://monitorss.xyz)**for all up-to-date functionality**
{% endhint %}

Filters can be added to control what feeds get sent to Discord via the command `filters`. There are five categories for which filters can be applied to: title, description, summary, author and tag.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Categories are set by the feed author, and not by you. Setting a filter to a category that does not exist or is not identified by the `test` command will cause all articles of the feed to fail the filter.
{% endhint %}

There are two types of filters: regular or regex. If regex filters are defined, regular filters will be ignored.

#### Filters on Other Article/XML Properties

You can apply filters to non-standard raw properties. Use the `dump` command, find the relevant name, and use `raw:<name>` as the filter category (replacing `<name>` with the name in the dump output).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.monitorss.xyz/bot-customizations/filters.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
