A Condition is type of Control, that is responsible for determining whether a specific Action or series of Actions should be executed. Conditions evaluate specific criteria or variables to decide if the Automation should proceed. They act as gatekeepers within Optix Automations, ensuring that actions are only triggered when certain pre-defined requirements are met.
For example, in an Optix Automation for new Users:
Trigger: New Active User
Condition: Only continue if...
Account's primary location
Is
East Coast Office
Action: Send a message
In this case, the Condition ensures that only Active Users who are joining your coworking space at the East Coast Office will receive the specific message you have written for this Automation. If the condition is not met, further Actions are not executed.
