Yes, you can achieve this by using conditional actions in your workflow. You can add code steps with conditions and then follow them with the desired steps based on the outcome of the conditions. Here’s an example: // First code step if (condition1) { $.export("executeStep1", true); } else { $.export("executeStep1", false); } // Second code step if (condition2) { $.export("executeStep2", true); } else { $.export("executeStep2", false); }
After each code step, you can add the desired steps and use the “Skip execution if” option in the step settings. For the step after the first code step, you can use steps.first_code_step.executeStep1
as the condition. For the step after the second code step, you can use steps.second_code_step.executeStep2
as the condition. This way, the steps will only execute if their respective conditions are met.
Can you show this example in python?

I apologize for the confusion earlier. In Pipedream, you can use Python in code steps within your workflow. Here’s an example of how you can achieve the conditional execution using Python: 1. Add a Python code step and use the following code for the first condition: if condition1: pd.export("executeStep1", True) else: pd.export("executeStep1", False)
2. Add another Python code step for the second condition: if condition2: pd.export("executeStep2", True) else: pd.export("executeStep2", False)
3. After each Python code step, add the desired steps and use the “Skip execution if” option in the step settings. For the step after the first Python code step, use steps.first_python_step.executeStep1
as the condition. For the step after the second Python code step, use steps.second_python_step.executeStep2
as the condition. This way, the steps will only execute if their respective conditions are met.
I’m not seeing Skip execution if
in step settings. Should this be near “disable step” and “rename step”? If you mean in the configuration, I’m also not seeing it there. I’m looking a the python code block step type and a postmark block step type.
I apologize for the confusion earlier. I made a mistake in my response. Pipedream does not have a built-in “Skip execution if” feature. However, you can achieve conditional execution by using if
statements within your Python code steps. Here’s an example: 1. Add a Python code step for the first condition: if condition1: # Execute the code for the first condition result1 = "some result" else: result1 = None
2. Add another Python code step for the second condition: if condition2: # Execute the code for the second condition result2 = "some other result" else: result2 = None
3. In the following steps, you can check if result1
or result2
is not None
before executing the desired actions. This way, the actions will only execute if their respective conditions are met.
