To skip a workflow step based on a condition, you can use the Filter action within Pipedream. Here’s how you can do it: 1. Add a filter action to your workflow by searching for the Filter app in a new step. 2. Choose the Continue Workflow on Condition action. 3. Set the Value to the subject of the condition. 4. Set the Condition to compare the value against. For example, if you want to continue only if an order’s status is “ready”, you would set the Value to the order’s status field and the Condition to “equals ready”. Here’s a snippet of how you might configure this in Pipedream: ```
on { “Value”: “{{steps.trigger.event.body.order.status}}”, “Condition”: “equals”, “Value to compare against”: “ready” }

To skip a step in a Pipedream workflow, you can use conditional logic within your code steps. If a certain condition is met, you can simply not execute the code that would normally run in that step. Here’s an example in Node.js: export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { // Check a condition - if true, skip the rest of this step if (someCondition) { console.log("Skipping this step because someCondition is true"); return; } // The rest of your step code goes here // This will only run if someCondition is false }, }) In this example, replace someCondition with the actual condition you want to check. If the condition is true, the step logs a message and exits early, effectively skipping the rest of the step. If the condition is false, the rest of the step’s code will run as normal. Remember, this logic needs to be implemented in each step you want to conditionally skip.

, currently there’s no way to skip a step. We only able to skip the whole workflow.

The Pipedream team is actively working on v3 builder that allow you to do that
