Conditional Logic & Branching
If/Then Conditions
Create intelligent workflows that adapt based on contact data and behavior:
Basic Conditions
- Field Comparison: If email contains @gmail.com
- Tag Presence: If contact has tag "VIP"
- Date Ranges: If created date is within 7 days

Advanced Logic
- Multiple Conditions: AND/OR operators for complex rules
- Nested Conditions: If/Then within If/Then branches
- Time-Based Logic: Business hours, time zones
- Engagement Scoring: Route based on activity
Multi-Path Workflows
Split contacts into different paths based on criteria:
- Lead Quality Path: High/Medium/Low value routing
- Interest-Based Path: Product A vs Product B nurture
- Engagement Path: Active vs Inactive sequences
- Geographic Path: Location-based campaigns
✅ Best Practice
Always include a "default" path for contacts that don't match any conditions. This prevents contacts from getting stuck in your workflow.
