How does the IF node split the workflow into True and False paths?

The IF condition in FYERS Automate is used to make a decision based on whether a condition is true or false. It helps your automation choose what to do next depending on the result of a check.

Unlike OR or AND, which only decide when to move forward, the IF condition decides which path the automation should take.

How the IF condition works

An IF condition evaluates a single rule, such as a portfolio check or any other condition node. When the rule is evaluated, the result is either true or false.

Based on this result, the automation continues along one of two paths:

  • True path – followed when the condition is met.
  • False path – followed when the condition is not met.

Understanding the true and false indicators

Every IF block shows two output dots at the bottom:

  • Green / Blue dot (True): This path is taken when the condition evaluates to true.
  • Red dot (False): This path is taken when the condition evaluates to false.

You can connect different actions or condition blocks to each dot, allowing the automation to behave differently based on the result.

Example for easy understanding

Suppose you add a portfolio check inside an IF condition.

• If the check result is true, the automation follows the true (green/blue) path and continues with the actions connected there.
• If the check result is false, the automation follows the false (red) path and executes the actions connected to that side instead.

This allows you to build logic like: “If this condition is met, do this. Otherwise, do something else.”

When should you use an IF condition?

  • When your automation needs to take different actions based on a result.
  • When you want a clear yes/no decision point in your strategy.
  • When a single condition should control two different outcomes.

Note: An IF condition always evaluates only one condition block. The automation will always choose exactly one path—either true or false.
