How can I filter the user list according to the user’s custom metadata?

Hello @Dimpy_Ahlawat

Welcome to Sendbird community!

You can use our [List User API](https://sendbird.com/docs/chat/platform-api/v3/user/listing-users/list-users#1-list-users) which can retrieve a list of users in your Sendbird application using this API. You can generate a customized list using various parameter combinations.

For example you can do a GET request something like - `GET https://api-{application_id}.sendbird.com/v3/users?metadata_key={key}&metadata_value={value}` to get user’s custom metadata.

Let me know if this helps.

Thank you @Chinmaya_Gupta for help. Is there any way to filter the user list by metadata on Sendbird Dashboard? I want to create a group of users with specific attributes from the Dashboard.

@Dimpy_Ahlawat After creating the user from Sendbird Dashboard you can add custom\_fields like below.
