Filtering Leads By Date or Age In Lead Prosper

There are several different ways to filter by a date or age range from within your Lead Prosper campaign. There are two campaign field types that can be used in this case - date and age. Both of these campaign fields have the exact same formatting options; however, the main differentiator is the filtering options available based on the field type. Another option would be if you have a numeric campaign field where you are collecting a number and that number represents a date range, such as number of days since an incident.

FIELD TYPE: DATE

When a campaign field is set up as a date field, the user has the ability to allow or block leads based on the following criteria:

• {{date_field}}  greater than first_date
• {{date_field}} less than first_date
• {{date_field}} equal to first_date
• {{date_field}} not equal to first_date
• {{date_field}} greater than or equal to first_date
• {{date_field}} less than or equal to first_date
• {{date_field}} between first_date & second_date

Use the date field when you have a specific date and you want to filter leads based strictly on that specific date. 

FIELD TYPE: AGE

When a campaign field is set up as an age field, the user has the ability to allow or block leads based on the following criteria:

• {{date_field}} age greater than value1
• {{date_field}} age less than value1
• {{date_field}} age equal to value1
• {{date_field}} age not equal to value1
• {{date_field}} age greater or equal to value1
• {{date_field}} age less or equal to value1
• {{date_field}} age between value1 and value2

Use the age field when you have a specific date and want to filter leads based on a time frame around that date. Age calculates the “age” of a date that has been entered in the lead, and then uses that age to filter leads. For example if you are collecting date_of_birth you can block leads where age based on the date_of_birth field is less than 18 years, you can allow leads where age based on the date_of_birth field is under 65 years, or you could allow leads where age based on the date_of_birth field is between 22 years old and 65 years old (meaning that only leads where the age of the user is between 22 and 65 based on the date_of_birth field value).

FIELD TYPE: NUMERIC

When you have a campaign field set up as numeric, you can use the number value passed to this field to allow or block a lead based on the following criteria:

• {{number_of_days}} is greater than value1
• {{number_of_days}} is less than value1
• {{number_of_days}} is equal to value1
• {{number_of_days}} is not equal to value1
• {{number_of_days}} is greater than or equal to value1
• {{number_of_days}} is less than or equal to value1
• {{number_of_days}} is between value1 and value2

In the case of a numeric campaign field you can use the number value that is provided to base your filtering off of. An example of this would be in the case of a personal injury campaign where you are collecting a field such as days_since_accident. If you want to only accept leads within 60 days of the accident you could set up a filter to Allow leads where {{days_since_accident}} is less than a value of 60.
