What is pre-filtering?
When you enrich a main project from a supplementary project, pre-filtering excludes certain supplementary records before values are joined in.
Without pre-filtering, every match from the supplementary dataset may be considered. With pre-filtering, only records that meet your conditions are used.
Examples:
Only enrich using managers located in the U.S. (
country is U.S.).Only use active employees (
is_terminated is false).Skip terminated managers when pulling manager name fields.
When to use pre-filtering
The supplementary project is large but you only need a subset for lookup.
You want to avoid attaching data from inactive or irrelevant related records.
You need stricter control than the main project filter provides.
Configure pre-filtering
Log in to your Aragorn AI account.
Open the integration-bound project with an enrichment step.
Create or edit an enrichment (linking column + supplementary project). See How to configure an enrichment source.
In the enrichment setup, open pre-filtering (or equivalent advanced options).
Add conditions—for example:
country is U.S.is_terminated is false
Preview matches to confirm the filter behaves as expected.
Save the enrichment, complete mapping, and reprocess the main project.
