OneHash Chat offers filtering contacts by the below attributes:

Contact Name
Contact Email
Phone number
Contact Identifier
Country
City

To filter contacts, click on the Filter button on the top right corner of the OneHash Chat contacts screen.



<u>Example</u>

To get all contacts who are not from "USA" and have name containing "John":

Set the 1st filter type as "Name", the operator as "Contains" and the value as "John"
Click on "Add Filter" button
Set the 2nd filter type as "Country" as the filter type, "Not Equal to" as the operator and "United States of America" as the value.
Hit Submit and the contacts list will now be filtered by the above criteria.



You can apply as many filters as you want, by combining them with AND and OR operators to create complex queries and funnel you list to specific needs.

To clear the filters and go back to the original list, simply click on the "Clear Filters" button in the filters popup.
