array:union() Examples
Given two events with the fields mailto and mailto, return the addresses present in any event with this array.
For example, with the following input events:
mailto[0]=foo@example.com
mailto[1]=bar@example.com
mailto[0]=bar@example.comUse the following query function:
array:union(mailto, as=unique_mails)The output result:
unique_mails[0]=bar@example.com
unique_mails[1]=foo@example.com
