Bigin search criteria with parentheses in the value returns nothing

criteria=(Last_Name:equals:(Provider)) returns no records

Verified 2026-10-13 · Confirmed by 0 builders · Trust 50/100

Cause

Parentheses are part of the criteria syntax, so a value that contains them is not matched.

Fix

Do not store parentheses in values you will search on; search a plain marker value or a tag instead.

Apply

GET /bigin/v2/Contacts/search?criteria=(Last_Name:equals:Provider)
