Using Sent an HTTP request to SharePoint action, it's possible to get filtered items using ODATA query string. But if you use termset taxonomy, you could use a xml to send that filter conditions.

Each condition it's analysed by pair. So, there isn't an AND or OR with three or more conditions inside them. For that, you should use subgroups of pair conditions.

In this exemple, we would get all items that one of date fields (FirstDate, SecondDate, ThirdDate) is today. So, we must to create OR subgroups with max of 2 conditions each.

An important tip is that the complex conditions is more difficult to be computed. For better performances, it's suggested to use simple conditions first and complex ones after. Like as the example, we use the date conditions first and termset conditions after those ones.
