Conditional
A Conditional node is a gate. When its conditions hold, every edge out of it fires and the run continues. When they don’t, no edge fires, and every step that only it leads to is skipped. The run itself still finishes normally.
To send a run one way or another instead, use a Decision.
Settings
Section titled “Settings”Under Conditions, each row compares two values:
- A left value, such as
{{ trigger.amount }}. - A comparison.
- A right value, such as
500.
Press Add condition for another row, and pick and or or between two rows. Remove a row with its × button. A Conditional with no rows lets every run through.
Both values are templates. Type {{ to insert a variable, or type a fixed value.
Comparisons
Section titled “Comparisons”| Comparison | How it compares |
|---|---|
| is equal to, is not equal to | As numbers when both sides are numbers, otherwise as exact, case-sensitive text |
| contains, does not contain | Whether the right value appears in the left one, case-sensitive |
| is greater than, is less than | As numbers |
| is greater than or equal to | As numbers |
| is less than or equal to | As numbers |
| is before, is after | As dates, such as 2026-10-11 or a full ISO 8601 time |
In the four number comparisons, an empty value counts as 0, and text that isn’t a number makes
the comparison false. A date comparison with text that isn’t a date is false. Equal as numbers
means 750 equals 750.0.
And, or
Section titled “And, or”Rows are combined from top to bottom, each with the joiner below it. There is no grouping: A and B or C means (A and B) or C. To test something like A and (B or C), use two Conditional nodes
in a row, one for A and one for B or C.
Output
Section titled “Output”| Field | What it holds |
|---|---|
result |
Whether the conditions held |
The text the Conditional passes on is the text it received, so the next step’s {{ input }} is
the same as the Conditional’s. {{ input.<field> }} after a Conditional reads its own result, so
read an earlier step’s fields as {{ nodes.<id>.<field> }}.
Example
Section titled “Example”The Order router template gates on a valid amount before routing:
| Left value | Comparison | Right value |
|---|---|---|
{{trigger.amount}} |
is greater than | 0 |
A payload of {"amount": 750} continues. A payload of {"amount": 0} stops there, and the rest of
the workflow is skipped.
