Conditional actions

  • Article

Conditional actions allow you to adjust which actions to run based on the outcomes of conditional statements.

The following list displays some applications and features:

  • Use If conditionals to evaluate any type of condition.
  • Use Switch conditionals to compare a single variable with multiple possible values.
  • Cover multiple scenarios by employing nested conditionals.
  • Provide default and alternative behaviors to your desktop flows based on the available data.

To find more information on how to use the conditionals,go to Use conditionals.

Case

An expression that, if met, a block of actions associated with that particular case runs.

Input parameters

Argument Optional Accepts Default Value Description
Operator N/A Equal to (=), Not equal to (<>), Greater than (>), Greater than or equal to (>=), Less than (<), Less than or equal to (<=), Contains, Does not contain, Is empty, Is not empty, Starts with, Does not start with, Ends with, Does not end with, Is blank, Is not blank Equal to (=) The comparison operator of this case
Value to compare No * Enter a value to compare with the switch-block value

Variables produced

This action doesn't produce any variables.

Exceptions

This action doesn't include any exceptions.

Default case

A block of actions that is run, if no case expression has been met in the switch body.

Input parameters

This action doesn't require any input.

Variables produced

This action doesn't produce any variables.

Exceptions

This action doesn't include any exceptions.

Else

Marks the beginning of a block of actions that ran if the condition specified in the preceding 'If' statements aren't met.

Input parameters

This action doesn't require any input.

Variables produced

This action doesn't produce any variables.

Exceptions

This action doesn't include any exceptions.

Else if

Marks the beginning of a block of actions that run if the conditions specified in the preceding 'If' statements aren't met, but the condition specified in this statement is met.

Input parameters

Argument Optional Accepts Default Value Description
Operator N/A Equal to (=), Not equal to (<>), Greater than (>), Greater than or equal to (>=), Less than (<), Less than or equal to (<=), Contains, Does not contain, Is empty, Is not empty, Starts with, Does not start with, Ends with, Does not end with, Is blank, Is not blank Equal to (=) Choose the relationship of first operand to the second operand.
First operand No * Enter a value name defined by a previous action, text, number or expression to compare with the second operand.
Second operand No * Enter a value name produced by a previous action, text, number or expression to compare with the first operand.

Variables produced

This action doesn't produce any variables.

Exceptions

This action doesn't include any exceptions.

If

Marks the beginning of a block of actions that is run if the condition specified in this statement is met.

Input parameters
Argument Optional Accepts Default Value Description
Operator N/A Equal to (=), Not equal to (<>), Greater than (>), Greater than or equal to (>=), Less than (<), Less than or equal to (<=), Contains, Does not contain, Is empty, Is not empty, Starts with, Does not start with, Ends with, Does not end with, Is blank, Is not blank Equal to (=) Choose the relationship of first operand to the second operand.
First operand No * Enter a value name defined by a previous action, text, number or expression to compare with the second operand.
Second operand No * Enter a value name produced by a previous action, text, number or expression to compare with the first operand.

Variables produced

This action doesn't produce any variables.

Exceptions

This action doesn't include any exceptions.

Switch

Dispatches execution to different parts of the switch body based on the value of the expression.

Input parameters

Argument Optional Accepts Default Value Description
Value to check No * Enter a value name, text, or number to compare with the following cases.

Variables produced

This action doesn't produce any variables.

Exceptions

This action doesn't include any exceptions.
