If / Elseif / Else

Type: if  ·  Package: Core Activities v1.0.0

Make a decision: evaluate a condition and, depending on whether it is true or false, execute one group of activities or another. It is the basis of the logic of any automation — “if the total exceeds the limit, ask for approval; if not, continue.”

It supports several chained conditions: the main one (if), one or more intermediate ones (elseif) and one by default (else).

How it works

1. Evaluate the main condition. If true, execute branch then and terminate.
2. If false, evaluates each elseif condition in order. The first one that is true executes its branch and ends.
3. If none are true, run branch else (if it exists).

Only one branch is executed: the first one whose condition is true.

Required parameters

Parameter	Editor	Description
condition	expression	Boolean condition (must start with =). Ex: = total > 1000.

Optional parameters

Parameter	Editor	Description
elseif	(advanced)	List of intermediate conditions {condición, then}, evaluated in order if the main one is false. They are configured visually in the Designer.

Subflows (lanes)

These parameters are activity blocks that are configured as lanes on the canvas, not as text.

then requerido

Activities that are executed when the condition is true.

else optional

Activities that are executed when no conditions were met.

Example

Classify an invoice according to its amount:

If   condition = = num(fila["Total"]) > 1000000
 ├─ then:
 │    Log   level = warning   message = "Factura alta: requiere aprobación"
 │    Set Variable   name = requiereAprobacion   value = true
 └─ else:
      Log   level = info   message = "Factura dentro del límite"

Write conditions that return true/false

The condition must be a boolean expression. Use comparison (==, !=, >, <) and logical (&&, ||, !) operators. Remember: to compare equality, == (double) is used, not =. See Operators.

Common errors

Symptom	Causa	Solution
The condition always goes to else	You compared table cells with direct ==	Envuelve en str(...)/num(...) o usa eq(a,b)
Type error in condition	The expression does not return a boolean	Make sure the result is true/false
