Hello,  
I am looking to filter events for trigger “source account created”. Looking to trigger the workflow only when active directory account is created.

I am not sure why this is not working. I tried both json path filter below:  
$[?($.sourceName == “Active Directory”)]  
$[?(@.sourceName == “Active Directory”)]

Has anyone else faced this?

you could try something like this.

 ![{C817A7A3-42EE-491E-96A8-4FA90622F497}](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sailpoint/original/3X/7/3/735cfd4402ab2b5932fc0dedcaf36bc26af4f2c6.png)

Yes I do have that compare string already however I wanted to add json filter in the trigger itself because it is highly recommended by Sailpoint.
