Evaluate condition

Assess whether one or more conditions are true or false. Conditions can be used to evaluate values on whether they match, partially match, start with, ends with, are greater than, are smaller than, etc. This is similar to an IF statement in computer programming.

Note:

Avoid using special characters (e.g., (), <>, +=, etc.) or words like "and" and "or" in the Condition to be evaluated input, unless being used as an operator for separating conditions. If values contain these characters or words, they can only be passed into the expression as a variable.

EXAMPLE

Condition to be evaluated

Conditions can be used to evaluate values on whether they match, partially match, start with, ends with, are greater than, are smaller than, etc. See list of operators below.

Text

Yes

(2 == 4) or (robotic process automation contains automation)

Note: this will result in "Yes" as an outcome, since the second half of the statement is true.

Note: the value of inputs can either be a set value in the configuration of the Wrk Action within the Wrkflow, or a variable from the Data Library section. These variables in the Data Library section are the outputs of previous Wrk Actions in the Wrkflow.

Separators

NAME

DESCRIPTION

EXAMPLE

(<Condition>)

Parentheses can be used to determine the order of evaluation for multiple statements

(Car starts with b AND Car starts with c) OR 1 == 1 - > True

Car starts with b AND (Car starts with c OR 1 == 1) - > False

AND

Will check if both statements are true

Car starts with c AND Car starts with b - > False

OR

Will check if either statement is True

Car starts with c OR Car starts with b - > True

Operators (Note: Operators are case-sensitive. All Operators should be in lowercase)

OPERATOR

DESCRIPTION

TYPE

REQUIRED

EXAMPLE

contains

Checks if a string_1 includes string_2

The validation will return true if string_2 is completely included in String_1.

String

Yes

Car , bike, motorcycle contains bike - > True

Car , bike, motorcycle contains bike, scooter - > False

does not contain

Checks if a string_1 doesn’t include string_2

The validation will return false only if string_2 is completely included in String_1

String

Yes

Car , bike, motorcycle does not contain bike - >False

Car , bike, motorcycle does not contain bike, scooter - > True

Car , bike, motorcycle does not contain scooter - > True

exact match

Checks if a string_1is an exact match to string_2

String

Yes

Car , bike, motorcycle exact match bike - >False

Car , bike, motorcycle exact match Car , bike, motorcycle - > True

partial match

Checks if a string_1 partially matches string_2

Partial match is when at list one word from one of the two strings is found in the second one.

exact match is also partial match

String

Yes

Car , bike, motorcycle partial match bike - >True

Car , bike, motorcycle partial match bike, scooter - > True

Car , bike, motorcycle partial match scooter - > False

not a match

Opposite of exact match

String

Yes

Car , bike, motorcycle not a match bike - > True

Car , bike, motorcycle not a match Car , bike, motorcycle - > False

starts with

Checks if a string_1 starts with a specified sequence of characters

String

Yes

Car , bike, motorcycle starts with ca - > True

Car , bike, motorcycle starts with ba - > False

does not start with

Opposite of starts with

String

Yes

Car , bike, motorcycle does not start with ca - > False

Car , bike, motorcycle does not start with ba - > True

ends with

Checks if a string_1 ends with a specified sequence of characters

String

Yes

Car , bike, motorcycle ends with cle - > True

Car , bike, motorcycle ends with ba - > False

does not end with

Opposite of ends with

String

Yes

Car , bike, motorcycle does not end with cle - > False

Car , bike, motorcycle does not end with ba - > True

is null

Checks if a specific string is null ( empty) or a number was not initialized

String

Yes

({variable} is null) (Where variable=``) -> True

Note: To be combined with other conditions using "AND" or "OR" this operator must be surrounded in brackets ()

is not null

Opposite of is null

String

Yes

Car , bike, motorcycle Is not null -> True

Note: To be combined with other conditions using "AND" or "OR" this operator must be surrounded in brackets ()

>

Checks if a number_1 is greater than number_2

Number

Yes

1>1 -> False

>=

Checks if a number_1 is greater or equal to number_2

Number

Yes

1>=1 -> True

<

Checks if a number_1 is less than number_2

Number

Yes

1<2 -> True

<=

Checks if a number_1 is less or equal to number_2

Number

Yes

1<=2 -> True

==

Checks if a number_1 is equal to number_2

Number

Yes

1==2 -> False

<>

Checks if a number_1 is not equal to number_2

Number

Yes

1 <> 2 -> True

is true

Checks if a boolean expression is true

Boolean

Yes

False is true -> False

is false

Checks if a boolean expression is true

Boolean

Yes

False is false -> True

is empty

Checks if an array/list is empty

List

Yes

Car , bike, motorcycle is empty -> False

is not empty

Checks if an array/list is not empty

List

Yes

Car , bike, motorcycle is not empty -> True

in

Checks if a number/string is included in a list

List

Yes

Car , bike in Car , bike, motorcycle -> True

not in

Checks if a number/string is not included in a list

List

Yes

Car , bike not in Car , bike, motorcycle -> False

Outcomes

NAME

DESCRIPTION

Yes

This status is selected when the evaluated condition is true.

No

This status is selected when the evaluated condition is false.

Unsuccessful

This status is selected in the event of the following scenarios:

- Expression is missing or doesn't make logical sense
