In Yoom, you can use branching operations to split the flowbot's route based on specific conditions.

This article will introduce how to use list-formatted values obtained through actions, such as retrieving multiple records, to create branching paths.

In this example, we will demonstrate a Flowbot that retrieves multiple records from the Yoom database and splits the route depending on whether the retrieved values are one or more.

Here is an overview of this Flowbot:

For this example, we have prepared the following Yoom database in advance:

In the Flowbot edit screen, click the + button and select Yoom from the database action.

Configure it to retrieve multiple records as follows:

When you retrieve multiple records, you will notice that the values are displayed in a comma-separated list format (half-width comma), as shown below:

Next, use a data conversion action to split the list of values into individual outputs:

Finally, configure the branching operation to split the flow based on the number of split outputs:

By using the split count output obtained in Step 3, the flowbot will determine that if the number of split outputs is 1, there is only one value. If there are multiple outputs, the flowbot will follow a different route based on the number of retrieved values.

While configuring branching, you could skip the operation that splits the list into individual outputs and branches based on whether a half-width comma (,) is present in the value. However, due to system limitations, this method will not work as expected.
