Examples for If Condition

In the sample below:

1. if the node named Low evaluates to true (score less than 30), the 3 nodes get executed - Email, Slack and Mobile push.

‍

2. If the node named High evaluates to true (score greater than or equal to 30), only the Email node gets executed.

The Condition input follows the same syntax as the Formula block in App Design and supports most Excel formulas. Know more about the syntax and valid formulae here.
