Path Block
Conditional branching in Scout workflows
The Path block is a key component in Scout workflows, providing the ability to branch execution paths based on dynamic conditions. This enables workflows to adapt and respond to varying inputs and states, enhancing their flexibility and power.
Configuration (Required)
Template that should evaluate to True or False. This condition determines the execution path of the workflow. Ensure the logic accurately reflects the decision criteria needed for your specific use case.
The block_id of the block to run if the condition evaluates to True. This specifies the path the workflow will take when the condition is met.
The block_id of the block to run if the condition evaluates to False. This ensures an alternative path is taken when the condition is not satisfied.
Outputs
The output of the Path block provides the evaluated condition and the block ID that will be executed. This output helps in understanding the decision path taken by the workflow.
Usage Context
Use this block to control workflow execution based on dynamic conditions. It is useful for creating decision points in workflows where different actions are needed based on the evaluation of a condition.
Best Practices
- Ensure the condition template correctly evaluates to a boolean value. This is crucial for the block to function as intended.
- Verify that the block IDs provided exist in the workflow. This prevents errors and ensures that the workflow executes as intended.
- Use meaningful and descriptive block IDs to make the workflow easier to understand and maintain.
