Contacts: Supported Filters, Sorting, and Search

This article covers field support for filtering, sorting, and searching in the Contacts API, including for extended fields.

The table below shows field support for filters, sorting, and free-text searching for the base set of contact properties. It doesn't include extended fields (those are covered in the sections below).

The table below shows field support for filters, sorting, and free-text searching for the Wix-defined extended fields (also known as system fields).

Note: When querying or sorting, extended field names are flattened to a dot-separated string, like this: "info.extendedFields.{key}". For example, to query the emailSubscriptions.effectiveEmail extended field, use this flattened field name: "info.extendedFields.emailSubscriptions.effectiveEmail".

Extended fields that are created by 3rd-party apps or site contributors are known as custom fields. Site contributors can add, remove, and change custom field names from the Contact List in their site's Dashboard.

The table below shows field support for filters, sorting, and free-text searching for custom fields.

Note: When querying or sorting, extended field names are flattened to a dot-separated string, like this: "info.extendedFields.{key}". For example, to query the custom.newCustomer extended field, use this flattened field name: "info.extendedFields.custom.newCustomer".
