Conditions

The Workflow Constructor supports a wide variety of predefined conditions. These conditions let you describe the basic criteria that must be met to run a workflow rule.

  • Define the base criteria by dragging conditions to the Prerequisites section of the workflow rule.

  • When adding multiple conditions, each condition is automatically connected with a logical AND operator. This means that the prerequisite for running the workflow rule is only met when every condition in the Prerequisites section are met.

    You can combine conditions in different ways using building blocks. To learn more, see Building Blocks.

  • Use the Check for additional conditions action to perform additional checks during the transaction. For more information, see Check for Additional Conditions.
