Conditions and branching give you more control over how your automations run and what actions they perform. By setting conditions within a path, you can create branches inside a single automation so that different actions happen depending on the state of a task when the automation is triggered.

Adding conditions to your automation

Once you have set up your trigger, you can add conditions to control when your automation runs.

  1. Click Add step to open the What happens next? panel.
  2. Under Flow controls, select Paths. A Check if node appears on the canvas and a Path configuration panel opens on the right.
  3. Give your path a name that describes the condition you are checking for.
  4. Set the scope.
  5. Under Conditions, click + Add condition to define what must be true for this path to run. You can search for a condition or select one from the list, which is grouped by category.

Once your condition is set, click Add step in the automation builder to add the actions that should run when that condition is met.

Adding multiple conditions

You can add more than one condition to a path by clicking + Add condition again. When multiple conditions are added, all of them must be met for the path to run. The canvas summarizes all active conditions on the path so you can see at a glance what is being checked.

Adding branches

Branches let you define what happens under different conditions, all within the same automation. Once you have configured your first path, click + Add branch on the canvas to add a second path. Give it a name, add its conditions, and configure its actions independently.

 

 

The else path

If you want an action to run when none of your other conditions are met, you can use an else path. Click + Add branch and in the Path panel set the condition to No other path is matching. This path will only run as a fallback when no other path conditions are satisfied.

Removing a condition

To remove a condition from a path, open the Path panel and hover over the condition you want to remove. Click the trash icon that appears on the right.

Removing a path

To remove a path entirely, click the three dot icon and select Delete.
