Use this action to execute operations based on the value of an existing variable. You can, for example, change the conversation flow redirecting the user to a different interaction.
The action uses the following settings:
The Control Value field supports multiple values checking in a single action. You can use a pipe (|) symbol to check multiple possible values. So to match this is awesome and this is great, you can enter this is awesome|this is great in Control Value.
Numeric criteria like Greater Than, Lesser Than or Between will always automatically attempt a conversion of the selected variable value to a number. If the variable is empty or the conversion to a number fails, the value will be assumed to be 0 (zero). So, as an example, if the variable test is empty, a conditional switch checking if value equal to 0 (zero) will return true.
On Condition Met. This action will trigger any child operation as the condition set by criteria and value is met.
