I’m trying to use a Mautic search companies node to return companies which dont have a valid email. The issue I have is with the Mautic’s node, where Im trying to use the search option to only return companies which have no email address populated. The search field is working, because I can for example put; companyemail@example@test.com and it will return 1 valid company. If I put companyemail:%@% it returns all companies who have an email set. Great What I cant get it to do is return companies with no email set. I have tried’ companyemail:”” companyemail: companyemail:”null” companyemail:null companyemail:!%@% But nothing works. It always returns either companies with an email, or no results…. I cant get it to return the companies without a companyemail set. Anyone any ideas? note:using a filter node isnt a viable workaround. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/1/f/1f504af6d8100f278186827ea93ae532ec72802d.png) { “name”: “Pop Mautic With Valid Emails”, “nodes”: [{ “parameters”: {}, “type”: “n8n-nodes-base.manualTrigger”, “typeVersion”: 1, “position”: [ 1152, 784], “id”: “db5d6a54-79f9-4008-b66d-71345779e21e”, “name”: “When clicking ‘Execute workflow’” }, { “parameters”: { “fieldToSplitOut”: “Email”, “options”: {} }, “id”: “0d3e9da5-cba8-415a-9c39-739c1576c7d3”, “name”: “Split Out”, “type”: “n8n-nodes-base.splitOut”, “position”: [2336, 784], “typeVersion”: 1 }, { “parameters”: {}, “id”: “4aeb5128-2133-401c-9bb5-7abbd67ca820”, “name”: “Remove Duplicates”, “type”: “n8n-nodes-base.removeDuplicates”, “position”: [2768, 720], “retryOnFail”: true, “typeVersion”: 1, “onError”: “continueRegularOutput” }, { “parameters”: { “content”: “\n\* Scraping emails from websites using an api”, “height”: 309.99889350400827, “width”: 1764.2311804548722, “color”: 4 }, “id”: “3cf95e32-ab01-48ca-a1c9-3b458a6530d0”, “name”: “Sticky Note”, “type”: “n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote”, “position”: [1104, 688], “typeVersion”: 1 }, { “parameters”: { “url”: “={{ $json.companywebsite }}”, “options”: {} }, “id”: “6976c947-14a7-499a-bc15-725ae9f4adfd”, “name”: “Get the website data”, “type”: “n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest”, “position”: [1808, 784], “retryOnFail”: true, “typeVersion”: 4.1, “onError”: “continueRegularOutput” }, { “parameters”: { “assignments”: { “assignments”: [{ “id”: “80a8a8ec-9ac7-4545-beab-390732218548”, “name”: “Email”, “type”: “array”, “value”: “={{$json.data.match(/(?:[A-Za-z0-9.\_%±]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\\.[A-Za-z]{2,})/g)}}” } ] }, “options”: {} }, “id”: “8480e9d4-66d7-4e24-b9b3-c4b316e7df46”, “name”: “Extract the emails found”, “type”: “n8n-nodes-base.set”, “position”: [2016, 784], “typeVersion”: 3.3 }, { “parameters”: { “conditions”: { “options”: { “caseSensitive”: true, “leftValue”: “”, “typeValidation”: “strict”, “version”: 1 }, “conditions”: [{ “id”: “701ead8f-02ba-4689-8054-9e40d9b9f770”, “operator”: { “type”: “string”, “operation”: “notEmpty”, “singleValue”: true }, “leftValue”: “={{ $json.Email }}”, “rightValue”: “” }], “combinator”: “and” }, “options”: {} }, “id”: “0904ad06-843e-4f0a-90d3-a8d5f6ef5fbc”, “name”: “If contains email”, “type”: “n8n-nodes-base.if”, “position”: [2528, 784], “typeVersion”: 2 }, { “parameters”: { “resource”: “company”, “operation”: “update”, “companyId”: “={{ $(‘get companies from mautic’).item.json.id }}”, “updateFields”: { “companyEmail”: “={{ $json.Email }}” } }, “type”: “n8n-nodes-base.mautic”, “typeVersion”: 1, “position”: [2928, 720], “id”: “3c93a9da-e60e-45d3-8696-7755013d00ce”, “name”: “Mautic Update”, “credentials”: { “mauticApi”: { “id”: “p3GNXung0M737tfa”, “name”: “Mautic account” } } }, { “parameters”: { “resource”: “company”, “operation”: “getAll”, “additionalFields”: {} }, “type”: “n8n-nodes-base.mautic”, “typeVersion”: 1, “position”: [1376, 784], “id”: “8e4fc244-050a-4f54-b279-0ce82e100bc0”, “name”: “get companies from mautic”, “credentials”: { “mauticApi”: { “id”: “p3GNXung0M737tfa”, “name”: “Mautic account” } } } ], “pinData”: {}, “connections”: { “When clicking ‘Execute workflow’”: { “main”: [[ { “node”: “get companies from mautic”, “type”: “main”, “index”: 0 }] ] }, “Split Out”: { “main”: [[ { “node”: “If contains email”, “type”: “main”, “index”: 0 }] ] }, “If contains email”: { “main”: [[ { “node”: “Remove Duplicates”, “type”: “main”, “index”: 0 }] ] }, “Remove Duplicates”: { “main”: [[ { “node”: “Mautic Update”, “type”: “main”, “index”: 0 }] ] }, “Get the website data”: { “main”: [[ { “node”: “Extract the emails found”, “type”: “main”, “index”: 0 }] ] }, “Extract the emails found”: { “main”: [[ { “node”: “Split Out”, “type”: “main”, “index”: 0 }] ] }, “Mautic Update”: { “main”: [[] ] }, “get companies from mautic”: { “main”: [[ { “node”: “Get the website data”, “type”: “main”, “index”: 0 }] ] } }, “active”: false, “settings”: { “executionOrder”: “v1” }, “versionId”: “f6d179d9-afa9-4b6b-8a0e-782aff1de310”, “meta”: { “templateCredsSetupCompleted”: true, “instanceId”: “74943b140dd4a4ea8488871dc1bdeccbd3ada594d650cb98f9cd46f10c1f9d16” }, “id”: “CHgvEul2PfGKfzhL”, “tags”: [] } ## Describe the problem/error/question ## What is the error message (if any)? ## Please share your workflow ```auto (Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.) ``` ## Share the output returned by the last node ## Information on your n8n setup - **n8n version:** - **Database (default: SQLite):** - **n8n EXECUTIONS\_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):** - **Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):** - **Operating system:** ---

Try using Mautic’s “is:empty” operator for the email field. The correct syntax should be: - `companyemail:is:empty` If that doesn’t work, check Mautic’s API documentation for null/empty value filtering, as the syntax may vary. Alternatively, you could fetch all companies and use a Function node to filter out those without emails if the search operator isn’t cooperating. ---
