# Conditional logic

> Add if/else branching to control which actions run

<Tip>
  We strongly recommend using Run script to build automations, because it can cover all action behaviors, including actions that would otherwise need to be built manually. Just describe your requirements to AI in chat.

  Please note: if you add actions manually, AI will not recognize or modify them later.
</Tip>

Conditions let you add decision points. The workflow splits into a **true** path and a **false** path.

## How to Use

1. Add a **Condition** node between steps.
2. Define one or more rules.
3. Click **Test** to validate.

## Combining Rules

* **AND** — all rules must be true

Groups can be nested:

```
(status is "Active" OR status is "Pending")
AND amount > 1000
```
