Add a condition to a cloud flow

Use a condition to specify that a cloud flow performs one or more tasks only if a condition is true or false. For example, you can use a condition that indicates that you'll get an email only if a tweet that contains a keyword is retweeted at least 10 times.

Here's a video tutorial about conditions.
