If-Else

​

Node Inputs

​

Required Fields

• Condition Type: The type of comparison to make
• Condition Value: The value to compare against (when applicable)

​

Optional Fields

• Pass Inputs Through: Makes input values of the wrapped node available as outputs

​

Node Output

• Evaluated Condition: Boolean (true/false) result of the condition
• Pass Through Values: Values for both conditions
• Inputs: Inputs of the wrapped node [If enabled]

​

Node Functionality

• Wraps around other nodes
• Evaluates their outputs
• Creates two possible paths (true/false)
• Routes data accordingly

​

Common Use Cases

1. Error Handling:

   Condition: Contains "error"
   True Path: Send alert
   False Path: Continue process

2. Data Validation:

   Condition: Is not empty
   True Path: Process data
   False Path: Skip record

3. Threshold Routing:

   Condition: Is greater than 1000
   True Path: High priority queue
   False Path: Normal queue

​

Step-by-Step Usage

1. Drag If-Else onto canvas
2. Place target node inside
3. Set condition type
4. Connect true/false outputs
5. Test both paths

​

Working with Join Paths

​

Benefits of Using Join Paths with If-Else

• Eliminates the need for duplicate nodes after conditional branches
• Maintains cleaner, more maintainable workflows
• Preserves original data types through the execution path
• Reduces redundant operations

​

Implementation Example

Input → If-Else
         ├─ True Path  → Process A →
         └─ False Path → Process B → Join Paths → Continue Workflow

​

Best Practices

1. Add Join Paths after conditional logic is complete
2. Connect both true and false paths to Join Paths inputs
3. Continue your workflow from the Join Paths output
4. Test all conditional paths to ensure proper flow
