Use a Conditional if an Agent must operate differently depending on an input or a value generated in a previous step. For example, route workflows to trigger different prompts based on specific user input. ## Add a Conditional Click the **+** icon in the Agent builder and select **Conditional**. Alternatively, drag **Conditional** from the node selection menu into the workflow. Conditionals require you to define a condition using a comparison expression (for example: equals, greater than, less than, or contains). If the condition evaluates as true, the Agent follows the **If true** branch. If not, it follows the **If false** branch. Each branch can contain its own sequence of steps. ## Configure conditions When configuring a Conditional, select: * The variable to evaluate * The evaluation operator (equals, greater than, less than, and so on) * The value to compare it against Click **+ Add Condition** to add multiple conditions to the same branch. Multiple conditions can be combined using **AND** (all conditions must be true) or **OR** (at least one condition must be true). When multiple conditions are configured, all must be satisfied for the Agent to follow the **If True** branch. If the conditions are not satisfied, the Agent automatically follows the **If false** branch. ## Conditional branch requirements There are several requirements to ensure an Agent executes as expected: * The variable used in a condition must exist and must be created in a previous step * Both branches must ultimately lead to an **End** step to complete the Agent run * The evaluation operator must align with the input variable type: * Numerical operators only work with numeric values. For example, **greater than** will not work on a string such as "Best AEO Tools" * String operators only work on text strings. For example, **contains** will not work on a numeric value of 126
