If/Else

Evaluates field <operator> value and routes execution to one of two outgoing handles:

  • Yes (true) — the condition was true.
  • No (false) — the condition was false.

Only one branch executes; the other is skipped entirely.

When to use

  • Gate a side-effect on a business rule ("If amount > $1000, send to manager approval, otherwise auto-approve").
  • Pick one of two follow-up paths.
  • Any classic "if-then-else" split.

If you have more than two outcomes, use Switch instead.

Configuration

FieldRequiredWhat it does
fieldYesThe value to evaluate. Supports {{...}} refs.
operatorYesComparison operator (see below).
valueThe value to compare against. Required for all operators except exists. Supports {{...}} refs.

Available operators

OperatorMeaningExample
eqEquals{{trigger.data.country}} eq "US"
neqNot equals{{trigger.data.status}} neq "cancelled"
gtGreater than{{trigger.data.amount}} gt 1000
ltLess than{{trigger.data.age}} lt 18
gteGreater than or equal{{trigger.data.score}} gte 80
lteLess than or equal{{trigger.data.retries}} lte 3
containsSubstring/element match{{trigger.data.tags}} contains "vip"
existsField is present and non-null{{trigger.data.refund_id}} exists

Numeric operators automatically coerce numeric strings (so {{trigger.data.amount}} working with "99.99" and 99.99 both compare correctly).

What it outputs

Nothing is written to the context — this is a routing node, not a data node.

Gotchas

  • Empty string vs missing field: eq "" matches an empty string, exists is false for both missing and null. Pick the right one for your check.
  • Case-sensitive string comparisons: eq "US" does not match "us". Normalize casing upstream (with Transform) if needed.
