Output filter lookup
Apologies if I missed this in the documentation.
Is there a filter that will discard an entire record from a flow if a lookup returns a certain result? For context, the output filter on an import step allows you to discard the entire record from the flow, whereas the output filter on a lookup only discards certain records from that lookup and allows the root record to proceed. Throwing an exception in a hook would not really work in this case because it is not an error to be corrected, rather, it should be discarded silently.
The primary workaround I have been using is to map the appropriate field in the response mapping, and then use an input filter on every subsequent step. This works, but seems a little inefficient, and I was wondering if I was overlooking a simpler way.
Thanks for any insights.

You can add branching after the lookup, and set it up to only have one branch, and add your filter on the flow conditions for that branch:
Thank you, Bas van Ditzhuijzen! That is a very helpful tip.
