Features & highlights

  • Paired with the If, If File, If Folder, If Service, and If App Actions to introduce an alternative workflow—the branch of Actions that is performed when the conditions are not met.
  • Run a set of Actions if the condition is true and another set of Actions if it is false.
  • Specify what Actions to run if the conditions are not met.

Usage examples

  • Verify whether a file with a specific name pattern exists. If it does, then print it; else show a custom message to a user.
  • List files before sending email. If the number of files in a folder is low, then skip the compression process. Else—compress the files, and delete the list of uncompressed original files. Send an email with compressed archive files as attachments.
  • Perform different sets of Actions when the conditions are true and when they are false.
