Text Area Query Limitations

As you may have filtered on text area fields using the Report Builder, you may wonder why text area fields aren't shown in Campaign Audience Builder as filter options.

This is a viable request to filter on text area fields, for example, Description. Give me all Accounts where the Description contains 'XYZ'.

Unfortunately, this is not possible as the query engine of Campaign Audience Builder relies on SOQL. 

And text area fields aren't supported in SOQL. You can also check an Idea on the IdeaExchange with more than 500 upvotes, asking for this feature.

Once Salesforce provides such functionality, we will immediately include text area fields as available field types.
