IF and ELSE Conditions | UBIO Robot School

Robot School is the knowledge & learning centre for the Automation Cloud

Sometimes we need to check facts to decide how to act in the given context. For example, need to make sure there is a tick in the "terms and condition" checkbox? Prescribe a "click" on it only if it's not pre-ticked.

Conditional actions

Conditional (parent) actions hold children to play or bypass based on the condition's outcome.

The "if" action conditionally passes control to its children, based on the pipeline result. The pipeline should return a boolean value. If the value is true, control goes to the children.
The "elseIf" action works similarly, it must go right after an "if" or "elseIf".
The "else" action must go right after the "if" or "elseIf". Use it to pass the control to an alternative chain of the children actions, when the previous action results into false.

A flow controlling action needs its pipeline to return a boolean value. Feel free to use the list of checks in the recap.

Here we're using the Value.contains pipe; it's comparing two pieces of data grabbed from the page. Structurally it's made of 2 nested pipelines A and B. The pipe checks whether the result of the A contains the outcome of the B.
