If

Use the If node to split a workflow conditionally based on comparison operations.

Add conditions

Create comparison Conditions for your If node.

  • Use the data type dropdown to select the data type and comparison operation type for your condition. For example, to filter for dates after a particular date, select Date & Time > is after.

  • The fields and values to enter into the condition change based on the data type and comparison you select. Refer to Available data type comparisons for a full list of all comparisons by data type.

Select Add condition to create more conditions.

Combining conditions

You can choose to keep data:

  • When it meets all conditions: Create two or more conditions and select AND in the dropdown between them.

  • When it meets any of the conditions: Create two or more conditions and select OR in the dropdown between them.

Templates and examples

Branch execution with If and Merge nodes

If you add a Merge node to a workflow containing an If node, it can result in both output data streams of the If node executing.

One data stream triggers the Merge node, which then goes and executes the other data stream.

For example, in the screenshot below there’s a workflow containing an Edit Fields node, If node, and Merge node. The standard If node behavior is to execute one data stream (in the screenshot, this is the true output). However, due to the Merge node, both data streams execute, despite the If node not sending any data down the false data stream.

Screenshot of a workflow. The workflow has an Edit Fields node, followed by an If node. It ends with a Merge node.
