Control Flow Nodes¶
Gateway nodes for conditional branching and routing. These nodes appear as diamond shapes in the editor and split execution into multiple paths based on conditions.
IfElse¶
Conditional branching with text comparison operators. Evaluates a condition and activates either the True or False branch.
Category: Control Flow | Shape: Diamond (Gateway)
Input Ports¶
| Port | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| data | Mixed | Yes | The value to evaluate |
Configuration¶
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| matchText | String | (none) | The text to compare against |
| operator | String | equals |
Comparison: equals, not_equals, contains, starts_with, ends_with, regex |
| caseSensitive | Boolean | false | Whether comparison is case-sensitive |
| strictMode | Boolean | false | Use strict type comparison |
Output Ports (Branches)¶
| Branch | Activates When |
|---|---|
| True | The condition is met |
| False | The condition is not met |
Example¶
To check if a text contains the word "urgent":
- Connect the text to the
datainput - Set
operatortocontains - Set
matchTexttourgent
Nodes connected to the True branch execute when the text contains "urgent"; nodes on the False branch execute otherwise.
Boolean Gateway¶
Routes execution based on a boolean (true/false) value.
Category: Control Flow | Shape: Diamond (Gateway)
Input Ports¶
| Port | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| value | Boolean | Yes | The boolean value to evaluate |
Output Ports (Branches)¶
| Branch | Activates When |
|---|---|
| True | The input value is true |
| False | The input value is false |
Usage¶
Use Boolean Gateway when you already have a boolean value (e.g., from a previous comparison or a toggle) and want to route execution based on it.
Switch Gateway¶
Multi-path routing based on expression matching. Evaluates an expression and activates the matching branch, or the default branch if no match is found.
Category: Control Flow | Shape: Diamond (Gateway)
Input Ports¶
| Port | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| expression | String | Yes | The value to match against branches |
Configuration¶
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| branches | Array | List of named branches with match values |
| default_branch | String | Branch to activate if no match is found |
Output Ports (Branches)¶
Dynamic — one output branch for each configured branch name, plus the default.
Usage¶
Use Switch Gateway when you have more than two possible paths. For example, routing based on a content type: "article" → one path, "page" → another path, everything else → default path.
A/B¶
Randomly routes execution to branch A or branch B based on configurable weights. Useful for A/B testing.
Category: Control Flow | Shape: Diamond (Gateway)
Configuration¶
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| weight_a | Number | 50 | Percentage weight for branch A (0-100) |
| weight_b | Number | 50 | Percentage weight for branch B (0-100) |
Output Ports (Branches)¶
| Branch | Description |
|---|---|
| A | Activated based on weight_a probability |
| B | Activated based on weight_b probability |
