Hi guys,

I am not able to filter my list through url parameters.

I have explained the issue in video - [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ooggi1dNPtIp7V7b2C8ZXTrEfT12hLrS/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ooggi1dNPtIp7V7b2C8ZXTrEfT12hLrS/view?usp=sharing)

Apology if i have exaggerated my problem, I am not very well versed with URL parameters and filtering.

Hey Shivam, here’s a solution -  
First Thing - URL parameters only take text value, so when you send a list of values, they convert it into a list of texts.  
then, they add a separators in between, like comma(%2c) or space (%20).  
So to start, send list of values from multidropdown in URL, as shown below.

Second Step, in the Repeating group,  
search through the option sets and filter through values in URL.

Third step - IN the Filter , filter by splitting values by comma and a space.

Hi @rishabh2810ag,

Unfortunately, this didn’t work.

I am attaching the screenshot of configuration (consider email category as type)

The problem that i see is when there are multiple options in URL parameters, then it is not able to get the categories (it’s blank).

try making this changes,  
first - When getting parameters from URL in search, try text instead of option type

 ![Screenshot 2024-12-25 at 7.38.40 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/6/f/6fd5ba826df00feffe2e63a8bde4eea4d6bae836.png)

second  
in split by add a space also, if you see that in the url.  
split by (, )

 ![Screenshot 2024-12-25 at 7.14.21 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/7/f/7f99aeeabc559f5ecdd6ddeb88b61d8b13a180e1.png)

see if there is space also and add that too.

Thanks @rishabh2810ag , it worked.

Any ideas on my second problem?

I am passing the brands industries options in URL parameter

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/4/5/4530299b3b8837e8a6d03ff78210773712a5551e.png)

Then I am using “Brands In” and searching for all brands.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/1/7/1794dbb91531da2a5499f305a0e1bc8dc9697d83.png)

Then i am checking if Brands industry exists in “industry” URL paramater.

But it doesn’t seems to be working.
