Yes

String

Subnet to check for membership, expressed as:

Example

The following example demonstrates typical use of Workflow Engine function isInSubnet. To check if the source field for an IP address within the "198.51.100.0/24" subnet, set the following:

  • field: source_id

  • subnet: 198.51.100.0/24

The UI translates your settings to the following JSON:

{"field":"source_id","subnet":"198.51.100.0/24"}

An object with the following source_id value returns true:

source_id":"198.51.100.33"

An object with the following source_id value returns false:

source_id":"198.51.101.33"
