📝 Overview
The "Branch" operation allows you to switch the direction of the flow based on the specified conditions.
💡 Note: This operation is only available in paid plans.
🤖 Example
If you want to notify only the HR Slack channel when 'HR' is selected in a submitted form, the branch will look like the image below.
Differences Between "Branch" and "Switch Flow Destination"
📌 Branch
What you can do:
You can set complex branch conditions for item values, such as "If the company name includes 'Co., Ltd.'," "If the person in charge is Mr. A or Mr. B," or "If the inquiry date is on or after January 1, 2023."
You can also set outputs (like ##{{●●}}) for each branch condition.
What you cannot do:
You can only branch into two paths at once, so you cannot split into multiple paths simultaneously.
📌 Switch Flow Destination
What you can do:
You can branch into multiple paths at the same time, for example, "If the employee’s department is Sales," "If the employee’s department is HR," or "If the employee’s department is Engineering."
You can also set outputs (like ##{{●●}}) for each branch condition.
What you cannot do:
You cannot set conditions such as "contains" or "is greater than or equal to."

Step 3: Setting the Flow When Conditions Are Met
Set the action to be taken when the conditions are met in the flow on the right side of the branch.

Add the flow for when conditions are not met to the destination on the left side.
If you want to stop the Flow Bot, there is no need to add any additional flow.
