how to use Conditional Branch step
To use the Conditional Branch step in your Pipedream workflow, follow these steps: 1. Create a new step in your workflow by clicking the “+” button. 2. Select the “Conditional Branch” step from the list of available steps. 3. In the “Expression” field, enter a JavaScript expression that evaluates to a boolean value (true or false). This expression can reference data from previous steps in your workflow. 4. Based on the result of the expression, the workflow will follow either the “True” or “False” branch. You can add actions or code steps to each branch as needed. The workflow will continue executing the steps in the chosen branch based on the result of the expression. Remember to use data from previous steps in your expression by referencing it with the steps object, like steps.step_name.variable_name.
No such conditional branch step exists. Where did you get that from?
Apologies for the confusion earlier. You’re correct that there isn’t a specific “Conditional Branch” step in Pipedream. Instead, you can use conditional logic within a code step to control the flow of your workflow. Here’s an example: 1. Add a new code step to your workflow. 2. In the code step, write your conditional logic using JavaScript, like this: if (some_condition) { // Execute code when the condition is true } else { // Execute code when the condition is false } Replace some_condition with your desired condition, which can reference data from previous steps using the steps object, like steps.step_name.variable_name. Again, I apologize for the confusion earlier. Let me know if you have any other questions.
can I instead jump over next step if a condition is meet?
In Pipedream, you can’t directly “jump over” a step based on a condition. However, you can use conditional logic within a code step to control which actions are executed based on a condition. For example: if (condition) { // Execute code when the condition is true } else { // Execute code when the condition is false } Replace condition with your desired condition, which can reference data from previous steps using the steps object, like steps.step_name.variable_name. By structuring your code this way, you can control which actions are executed based on the condition, effectively “skipping” certain actions when the condition is not met.
