If

If chooses one of two paths. It forwards the incoming data through true when the conditions pass, or false when they do not. Use it for decisions such as whether a quantity needs attention.

Try it step by step#

1. Add a Variable named quantity with the numeric value 3, then connect it to If.
2. Set the left value to {{quantity}}, the operator to >=, and the right value to 2.
3. Connect each output to a different Variable message. Run once, then change quantity to 1 and run again.

What to expect#

With quantity 3, only the true path runs. With quantity 1, only the false path runs. If forwards the original object; it does not replace it with a boolean.

Things to check#

• AND means both checks must pass; OR means either can pass. Keep mixed conditions small enough to inspect.
• Do not connect both alternatives into Merge and expect it to continue: Merge waits for every incoming connection, while If chooses one.
