# How to create custom filters for my conversations

*Custom filters let you build your own Inbox views based on the criteria that matter to your team.*

When the built-in filters are not enough, custom filters help you create highly specific views of your conversations. They are useful for lead qualification, regional queues, language-based monitoring, or any operational workflow that depends on data already present in Crisp.

| Custom filters are available on all plans.

Once there, you can switch between existing filters or create a new one from scratch.
