How to do time-bounding logic within definitions?

One of the most fundamental properties of any individual Heap event is the timestamp when the event was fired. However, when creating Heap definitions, I don’t see a way to perform time-bounding logic on these timestamps. Specifically, I’d like to add a filter to a definition telling it to only consider timestamps prior to a given fixed date. Does this functionality exist and I’m just overlooking it? Thanks in advance.

Hi @bkatz,

In Heap, the timestamp of an event is indeed a fundamental property, but unfortunately, the platform does not provide built-in functionality for performing time-bounding logic on these timestamps when creating Heap definitions. Currently, there is no direct way to add a filter to a definition to consider only timestamps prior to a specific fixed date.
However, you can leverage Heap Connect to export your raw event data to an external data warehouse or analytics tool that supports advanced querying capabilities, including time-based filtering.

Hope this helps!
