Category: Logic & Control Flow Type: Conditional Branching

​
Overview

The If/Else Condition node helps you create conditional logic branches in your workflow. It checks a condition you define and then decides which path to take — True or False — based on the result. This allows you to make your workflow “think” and automatically handle different situations. For example, you can send a message only if the sender’s email matches a specific address, or trigger a notification only if a value meets certain criteria.

​
Description

This node compares one piece of data (like an email address, name, or number) against a value you choose. Depending on whether the condition is true or false, the workflow continues along the True path or the False path. It’s commonly used to:
  • Filter or sort data.
  • Control workflow decisions.
  • Automate actions based on user input or system data.

​
Input Parameters

ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
Source NodestringThe node that provides the input data to check.✅
ParameterstringThe specific data field to evaluate (for example, senderEmail).✅
OperatorstringThe comparison method to use, such as Equals, Not Equals, or Contains.✅
ValuestringThe value to compare against the selected parameter.✅
Node DescriptionstringAn optional text field to describe what this condition checks.❌

​
Output Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
conditionbooleanShows whether the defined condition evaluated to true or false.
Next StepstringIndicates which path the workflow will follow next — the True branch or the False branch — depending on the result.

​
Output Type

The output is a Boolean value:
  • True → The condition matched, and the workflow will follow the True path.
  • False → The condition did not match, and the workflow will follow the False path.

​
Example Usage

​
Example 1: Check the Sender’s Email

Input: 
{
  "sourceNode": "Send Mail",
  "parameter": "Input: senderEmail",
  "operator": "Equals",
  "value": "kolekarharshada08@gmail.com"
}
Execution Output: 
{
  "output": {
    "condition": false,
    "Next Step": "Return to Default Path"
  }
}
Explanation: The workflow checked if the sender’s email matched kolekarharshada08@gmail.com. Since it was actually harshada@notifs.worqhat.com, the result was False, and the workflow continued on the False branch.

​
Example 2: Match a User Name

Input: 
{
  "sourceNode": "User Info",
  "parameter": "Input: userName",
  "operator": "Equals",
  "value": "Alex"
}
Expected Output: 
{
  "output": {
    "condition": true,
    "Next Step": "Send Welcome Email"
  }
}
Explanation: Because the user’s name was “Alex,” the condition was True, and the workflow moved to the Send Welcome Email step.

How to Use in a No-Code Workflow

Follow these simple steps to use the If/Else Condition node in your workflow:
  1. Add the Node Drag and drop the If/Else Condition node into your workflow editor.
  2. Connect a Source Node Choose the previous node that provides the data to check (for example, “Send Mail” or “API Response”).
  3. Select a Parameter Pick which piece of data you want to evaluate — such as an email address or a status code.
  4. Choose an Operator Select how the comparison should be done (Equals, Contains, Greater Than, etc.).
  5. Set a Value Enter the value you want to compare against.
  6. Connect the True and False Paths
    • Connect the True path to the action you want if the condition is met.
    • Connect the False path to the action you want if it’s not met.
  7. Run the Workflow When executed, the node automatically decides which path to follow based on your condition.

​
Best Practices

  • Use clear, descriptive names for your nodes and conditions.
  • Double-check that the parameter exactly matches the field name from your source node.
  • For string comparisons, remember that some systems may be case-sensitive.
  • Keep your workflow organized by grouping related conditions together.
  • Always test your workflow with both True and False outcomes to ensure everything works correctly.

​
Example Workflow Integration

Scenario: You want to automatically reply to emails only from a specific sender. Workflow Steps:
  1. Trigger Node: Receive Email
  2. If/Else Condition:
    • Source Node: Send Mail
    • Parameter: Input: senderEmail
    • Operator: Equals
    • Value: kolekarharshada08@gmail.com
  3. True Path: Send an auto-reply email.
  4. False Path: Log the message and stop the workflow.
Result: Only the selected sender receives an automatic reply, while others are ignored.

​
Common Errors

Error MessagePossible CauseSolution
“Parameter not found in Source Node”The selected parameter doesn’t exist or is misspelled.Double-check the parameter name in the source node output.
“Invalid Operator”An unsupported or misspelled operator was selected.Use valid operators such as Equals, Not Equals, or Contains.
“Value missing for condition”The comparison value field is empty.Enter a valid comparison value.
Condition always returns FalseData type mismatch or incorrect input mapping.Check that your parameter and value use the same data format.
Summary: The If/Else Condition Node is a simple yet powerful way to make your workflow behave intelligently. It checks conditions, chooses the right path, and ensures your automation reacts exactly the way you need — no coding required.
