What is CRM Query Language

CRMQL stands for CRM.COM Query Language, which is business query language developed by CRM.COM in order to be used to query information within the CRM.COM system. CRMQL supports specific type of queries, which depend on the entity selected on the segment (or any other entity that might be using CRMQL Queries).

CRMQL Syntax

The structure of the CRMQL syntax is described below (using regular expressions). In general the CRMQL query consists of at least one set of criteria, operator and value. More than one sets can be defined or separated using AND or OR.

Criteria values, depend on the type of the specified criteria and the type of the specified operator.

Global functions can be used instead of the set of criteria, operator, value

CRMQL Syntax

(criteria_name operator criteria_value|global_function) ((AND|OR) (criteria_name operator criteria_value|global_function))*

CRMQL Operators & Possible Values

Global Operators

Global Operators are used to check if a value exist or not within a Set of values

Function	Parameters	Result	Description
exist(query)	CRMQL query	Boolean	It returns true if the specified query retrieves one or more records, otherwise is returns false
not exist(query)	CRMQL query	Boolean	It returns true if the specified query retrieves zero records, otherwise is returns false

Using Global Operator with Set Data Object

Global operators must be used when a Set of Data Objects is used:
