Switch component

A component that evaluates whether specified conditions are met and directs the follow of execution accordingly.

A Switch component evaluates conditions based on the output of specific components, directing the flow of execution accordingly to enable complex branching logic.

Scenarios​

A Switch component is essential for condition-based direction of execution flow. While it shares similarities with the Categorize component, which is also used in multi-pronged strategies, the key distinction lies in their approach: the evaluation of the Switch component is rule-based, whereas the Categorize component involves AI and uses an LLM for decision-making.

Configurations​

Case n​

A Switch component must have at least one case, each with multiple specified conditions and only one downstream component. When multiple conditions are specified for a case, you must set the logical relationship between them to either AND or OR.

Next step​

Specifies the downstream component of this case.

  • Once you specify the ID of the downstream component, a link is established between this case and the corresponding component.
  • If you manually link this case to a downstream component on the canvas, the ID of that component is auto-populated.

Condition​

Evaluates whether the output of specific components meets certain conditions, with Component ID, Operator, and Value together forming a conditional expression.

IMPORTANT

When you have added multiple conditions for a specific case, a Logical operator field appears, requiring you to set the logical relationship between these conditions as either AND or OR.

  • Component ID: The ID of the corresponding component.
  • Operator: The operator required to form a conditional expression.
    • Equals
    • Not equal
    • Greater than
    • Greater equal
    • Less than
    • Less equal
    • Contains
    • Not contains
    • Starts with
    • Ends with
    • Is empty
    • Not empty
  • Value: A single value, which can be an integer, float, or string.
    • Delimiters, multiple values, or expressions are not supported.
    • Strings need not be wrapped in "" or ''.

ELSE​

Required. Specifies the downstream component if none of the conditions defined above are met.

Once you specify the ID of the downstream component, a link is established between ELSE and the corresponding component.
