Quick Answer: What are Conditional Logic Nodes?

[!NOTE] Conditional Logic Nodes (If-Else and Switch) act as the central decision-makers of your workflow. They evaluate data from previous nodes and choose which path the automation should take next. For example: "If the file is a PDF, send it to the Compressor; if it is a Word document, send it to the Converter."

Core Capabilities

1. File Type Routing

Automatically handle different file types in a single entry point. Use an If-Else node to check {{trigger.file.type}}. True branch goes to PDF Tools, False branch goes to Image Tools.

2. Threshold-Based Decisions

Connect an AI Extract Node to an If-Else node. Route invoices over $5,000 to an "Approval" sub-workflow, while auto-processing small amounts.

3. Sophisticated Dispatching

Use the Switch Node for tiered automated systems. Route documents based on a priority field: high goes to a Priority Printer, medium goes to Email, and low goes to Cloud Storage.

Configuration Guide

Node	Setting	Description
If-Else	Condition List	A set of rules (e.g., `amount` > `100`).
If-Else	Logical Operator	Choose `AND` (all rules must pass) or `OR` (one rule must pass).
Switch	Reference Field	The variable to watch (e.g., `{{node.status}}`).
Switch	Case Mapping	Map values (e.g., `completed`) to specific output handles.

Best Practices

Default Case: In a Switch node, always provide a "Default" output to catch unexpected values and avoid workflow stalls.
Variable Presence: Use the exists operator to check if an AI Agent successfully returned a field before performing math operations on it.

[!TIP] Repeating logic across multiple items? Combine these nodes with a Loop Node to apply conditional filtering to every file in a batch.
