## Problem
Connecting a mailbox bulk-creates contacts via the email/calendar sync,
and each `person.upserted` fires the seeded **"Create company when
adding a new person"** workflow. The trigger enqueues one run per record
(no batching) and each run bills several `WORKFLOW_NODE_RUN` events — so
a single mailbox connect can rack up tens of thousands of runs and
exhaust credits on a brand-new workspace. The workflow is also redundant
on that path: the sync already creates the company from the email domain
and links the person to it.
## What this does
Adds an optional, user-defined **filter** to database-event (listener)
triggers, evaluated in the listener **before a run is enqueued**.
Non-matching events never create a run, so they consume zero execution
credits. This is the Filter node's capability, lifted to the trigger
level, and available for all event types (created / updated / upserted /
deleted).
The seeded "Create company when adding a new person" workflow now
carries a visible trigger filter — `Created by → Source is not Email`
**and** `is not Calendar` — so it no longer runs for sync-created
contacts, while still running for manually / API / CSV-added people.
## How (reuse)
- **Backend:** extracted `evaluateStepFilters()`, shared by the Filter
action and the trigger listener's new `eventMatchesRecordFilter` gate.
The record is exposed under the `trigger` key so filters reference it
exactly like steps do (`{{trigger.properties.after.…}}`).
- **Shared:** one optional `filter` added to the database-event trigger
zod schema; the front-end type derives from it (settings stay JSON — no
codegen).
- **Frontend:** extracted `WorkflowStepFilterBuilder` from the Filter
action's body; both the Filter action and the trigger editor render it.
The field picker needed no changes — at the trigger it already resolves
to the record's own fields via `TRIGGER_STEP_ID`.
## Scope / decisions
- **No migration for existing workspaces** (by request) — only newly
created workspaces get the filtered default; already-created workspaces
keep the always-on workflow.
- Deliberately did **not** add relation-enrichment to the upsert path
(it would add a DB lookup to the very bulk-sync path we're relieving).
Trigger filters work on the record's own scalar/composite fields (e.g.
`createdBy.source`); relation-based filters work on created/updated
where enrichment already runs.
## Verification
- Typecheck: `twenty-shared`, `twenty-server`, `twenty-front` all green.
- Lint (diff, autofix): 0 warnings / 0 errors across all three.
- Unit tests: a new `evaluate-step-filters` spec exercising the exact
`createdBy.source IS_NOT` seed mechanism, plus new listener specs
proving non-matching events are not enqueued. All backend
filter/listener suites pass.
- Not run here: integration tests (need a DB) and Storybook.

Why Twenty
Twenty gives technical teams the building blocks for a custom CRM that meets complex business needs and quickly adapts as the business evolves. Twenty is the CRM you build, ship, and version like the rest of your stack.

Installation
Cloud
The fastest way to get started. Sign up at twenty.com and spin up a workspace in under a minute, with no infrastructure to manage and always up to date.
Build an app
Scaffold a new app with the Twenty CLI:
npx create-twenty-app my-app
Define objects, fields, and views as code:
import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';
export default defineObject({
nameSingular: 'deal',
namePlural: 'deals',
labelSingular: 'Deal',
labelPlural: 'Deals',
fields: [
{ name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
{ name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
{ name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
],
});
Then ship it to your workspace:
npx twenty app:publish --private
See the app development guide for objects, views, agents, and logic functions.
Self-hosting
Run Twenty on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose, or contribute locally via the local setup guide.
Everything you need
Twenty gives you the building blocks of a modern CRM (objects, views, workflows, and agents) and lets you extend them as code. Here's a tour of what's in the box.
