If Condition

Using the IF condition in Quickwork. Quickwork is a no-code, API-based SaaS platform with pre-integrated apps to automate business workflows.
If Condition acts as a gateway where a journey executes successfully only when a specified condition is met. The output received from the trigger and previous action(s) is checked thoroughly by If Condition and then it's passed to the actions downstream. In case the condition is not satisfied, If Condition prohibits the data flow and the execution of the journey is terminated.
You can use If Condition between a trigger and action or action and action, depending on your use case.
Let's understand the functioning of If Condition using Gmail to Gmail journey. Click here to know how to set up this journey in detail.  
In this example journey, we will use the Contains condition. The journey use case is "Fetch a new email in Gmail and send it to another email(s) via Gmail if the subject of the received email contains the word, Demo".
Step 1: To configure a Gmail trigger, follow these steps:
Under the Event section, search for the Gmail app and click on it. 
Then select the trigger event, Get email, from the Triggers list.
Authorize Gmail by selecting an existing connection from the drop-down or creating a new connection. 
Select the label INBOX from the drop-down menu in the Label field:

Step 2: Now, let's use the If Condition feature. Under the Steps section, click the Business Logic option and select If Condition:
Figure 2: The If Condition
The Setup If condition block will appear with a pre-indented action bar as illustrated here:
Figure 3: The If Condition structure
You will get the following fields to which input is to be specified:
Specify a value in the Left Value field by placing the Subject data pill from the Gmail | Get email Trigger-Data Tree Output on the right-hand side of the screen.
The Left Value field acts as an input to the If Condition. The input of this field is the output of the trigger or previous actions used. 
     2. Select the Contains condition from the drop-down in the Condition field.
     3. Specify the Demo keyword as the value in the Right Value field.
An input provided in the Right Value field is a keyword satisfying the condition. It can be a string, integer, date, or timestamp.
Figure 4: Configuring the If condition
You can add OR and AND conditions between 2 or more If Conditions by clicking the Add condition button. It creates a nested If Condition that can handle severe complexities within a journey. 
Step 3: Configure the Gmail action - Send email. Click here to know the Gmail action configuration in detail. 
The Gmail to Gmail journey looks like the following screenshot after completing the configuration:
Figure 5: The If Condition journey
The journey is now configured successfully. Click the Save changes button and start the journey. Whenever the Gmail trigger fetches a new email, If Condition will check the subject line for the word Demo. If the condition gets satisfied, an email will be sent to the email ID(s) specified in the Gmail action. Else the journey will terminate.
Types of conditions
Let's take a tour of If Conditions that Quickwork offers:

Points to remember:
All the conditions are case sensitive and support all the data types as an input and output value
  is the example trigger data pill used to explain the conditions
Equals

The Left Value field (input) equals a value specified in the Right Value field (output). 
​
Example:
​
Left Value:  Let's say the value of this is 5 
​
Condition: Equals
​
Right Value: 5
​
Note: In the case of the string data type, the comparison is made based on the ASCII value.
​
When you run the journey, the Condition field will check whether the value of  (which is 5) is equal to value 5 or not. If yes, the defined condition is met, and the journey will proceed to the next action. 

Contains

The Left Value (input) field should contain a keyword in the text specified in the Right Value field (output).

Example:

Left Value:  Let's say the value of this is Demo Journey. 

Condition: Contains

Right Value: Demo

When you run the journey, the Condition field will check whether the value of  (which is Demo Journey) contains the keyword Demo or not. If it contains the keyword specified, the defined condition is met and the journey will proceed to the next action.

Does not contain

The Left Value (input) field should not contain a keyword in the text specified in the Right Value field (output).

​
Right Value: 15
​
When you run the journey, the Condition field will check whether the value of  (which is 22) is equal to 15 or not. If it is not identical to the keyword specified, the defined condition is met and the journey will proceed to the next action.
