Yes! Filters can be added to a new Applet or edited in an existing Applet directly through the IFTTT mobile app. You can add a filter using IFTTT Chat or the classic composer.
Add a filter with IFTTT Chat
With IFTTT Chat, you can describe the logic you want to add to your Applet, and it can generate and automatically add the filter for you when making your Applet.
For example, you could ask:
When my camera detects motion, send me a notification, but only if it's after 9 PM.
IFTTT Chat can create the Applet and add a filter that checks the current time before running the notification Action.
You can also ask IFTTT Chat to add a filter to an existing Applet. Describe the logic you want to add and include the Applet ID or name of the Applet you'd like to modify.
