Conditional OR/AND Clauses

Workflow's automation builder allows users to create conditional nodes that branch into an action or sequentially lead to it. Branching connections are considered as "OR" statements and sequenced connections are considered as "AND" statements for the logic.

Branching

An automation’s event can have different individual conditions that lead to the same action. Either condition must be true for the action to execute. Linking conditions to the same action is required for this clause to be applied.

The below example uses Branching conditions to determine if the action will be executed.

Sequencing

Events can also have a sequence of conditions that lead to the same action. Conditions created in sequence will all need to be true to execute the linked action.

The below example uses sequenced conditions to determine if the action will be executed.
