Rule Node

The Rule Node in Cobalt enables users to define conditions that must be met for further execution within a workflow. By adding rule nodes along with start nodes and app nodes, users can add conditional logic that executes different paths.

​

Steps to use Rule Node

To utilize the Rule Node effectively, follow these steps:

​

Create Workflow

Begin by navigating to the respective app and creating a new workflow. Add an event and publish the workflow to make it operational.

​

Add Rule

Within the workflow, add a rule node as per your requirement along with other nodes to define the workflow flow.

​

Define Rule Condition

Configure the rule node by selecting the appropriate rule condition. First, select the Condition Rule for the node which can either be Match Any Condition or Match All Conditions.

In Compare Values of, click on + Map Fields and specify the variable, operator and value for the condition.

The Rule Node offers the following Operators or Conditions to be used:

• Equal to
• Not Equal to
• Is Null
• Is Not Null
• Does Exist?
• Does Not Exist?
• Contains
• Does Not Contain

​

Workflow Execution

​

Condition Met:

If the specified rule condition is met during execution, the actions to be performed should now be added to the Green + button of Rule node, which signifies Conditions satisfied state.

​

Condition Unmet:

If the rule condition is not met during execution, the steps to be performed in that case can be added to the Red + button of the Rule Node.

​

Using the Rule Node in Workflow

Some of the key features of using Rule Node in a workflow are:

Conditional Logic

Users can incorporate conditional logic into workflows, enabling them to respond dynamically to varying conditions and scenarios.

Workflow Control

By defining rule conditions, users can ensure actions are performed only when specified conditions are met.

The Rule Node in Cobalt empowers users to create dynamic and responsive workflows by incorporating conditional logic. By defining rule conditions, users can automate processes efficiently and ensure workflows execute in accordance with predefined criteria.
