Compare object block

The compare object block compares two objects. The output is either the identical or unique key-value pairs from the two objects.

Make sure to reference an actual object for each input, not just one field.

A compare object block is commonly used in the following situations:

  • When your automation needs to evaluate two different inputs to find common objects.
  • When your automation needs to evaluate two different inputs to find unique objects.

Settings

The Settings tab is where you choose what the compare object block is looking for: similar objects or different objects.

  • Return key/values that are the same in both objects returns key-value pairs inside the object that are the same.

  • Return key/values that are different in both objects returns key-value pairs inside the object that are different.

    • Choose whether to ignore keys that are not in both objects.
