{% hint style="warning" %}
When using filters that are specific to a monitoring module (example : original\_bio\_contains or is\_company:), your filter will only apply to the specific monitoring module you chose. \
If you want your filter to be available on all montioring modules, we recommend you use common filtering operators (from, bio\_contains, followers\_count, profile\_contains, full\_contains, has\_emoji ....)
