Branch blocks allow a workflow to make decisions by splitting execution into two paths based on whether conditions are met.
They are useful for approvals, validations, and conditional notifications.
How Branch Blocks Work
A branch block evaluates configured conditions
If conditions are met, the true branch is executed
If conditions are not met, the false branch is executed
Each branch can contain its own actions, waits, or additional logic.
Branch Conditions
Branch conditions can be based on:
Is first created
Is updated
Is waiting review
Is completed
Is archived
Form field values
Conditions depend on the resource being evaluated.
Example:
If a form is completed correctly, send a confirmation email.
If not, request changes from the worker.
When to Use a Branch Block
Use a branch block when you need to:
Apply conditional logic
Handle approvals vs rejections
Send different messages based on form responses
Prevent unnecessary notifications
Best Practices for Branch Blocks
Keep conditions clear and easy to understand
Use branches to reduce duplicate workflows
Review workflow runs to confirm expected behaviour
