Use Add Condition to setup a condition for the action to execute. And only execute if the condition is met.
The Condition pop up has three fields.
- Enter the desired Condition Name.
- Select a Context Variable from the Variable Picker or create a new one. This context picker can be the output variable of any of the previous actions in the workflow.
- Select the Condition Criteria for the select variable.
For example, in a scenario, you want to check if the email address contains “workativ.com”, so you will use the Contains criteria for it.
- Select a context variable or enter text manually to specify the data you want the condition to be validated with.
NOTE: Only If the selected condition is a string or integer, you will get the Validate condition with field. In case of Boolean data type, the criteria is either True or False.
Example:
You can check if an email contains a specific pattern by choosing the User Email output from a previous action and selecting Contains on the dropdown and then specifying the pattern to be checked for as follows: (1) User Email → (2) Contains → (3) abc@xyz.in
| Condition | Data Type |
| Contains | String (A, B, C…) |
| Doesn’t contain | String (A, B, C…) |
| Starts with | String (A, B, C…) |
| Doesn’t start with | String (A, B, C…) |
| Ends with | String (A, B, C…) |
| Doesn’t end with | String (A, B, C…) |
| Equals | All Data Types |
| Does not equal | All Data Types |
| Greater Than | Integer (1,2, 3..) |
| Less Than | Integer (1,2, 3..) |
| Is True | Boolean (t/f) |
| Is False | Boolean (t/f) |
5. Click the Add More button to add a new condition.
6. Select And or Or radio button for the new condition.
NOTE: You can add any number of conditions on the Condition pop up using the following logic operators:
- And — Used to specify that conditions involved must get verified to perform an action.
- Or — Used to specify that verification of any one of the conditions is enough to perform an action.
7. Add the conditional inputs as explained previously.
Based on how you setup a condition, an uneditable summary of the condition will be displayed under the Summary field.
8. When you’re done, click Save to save the condition.
