Condition Action

The condition action evaluates filter conditions against request data and chain variables to control whether the automation chain continues or stops.

Configuration

{
  "type": "condition",
  "name": "Only process paid orders",
  "config": {
    "conditions": [
      {"body.status": {"$eq": "paid"}}
    ],
    "on_match": "continue",
    "on_no_match": "stop"
  }
}

Fields

Field	Type	Required	Description
conditions	array	Yes	Filter conditions to evaluate
on_match	string	No	What to do when conditions match: "continue" (default) or "stop"
on_no_match	string	No	What to do when conditions don't match: "continue" or "stop" (default)

Filter conditions

Conditions use the same filter engine as Mock Response Rules. See that page for the full list of operators ($eq, $neq, $gt, $contains, $in, $regex, $and, $or, $not, etc.).

Conditions are evaluated against a merged context that includes both the incoming request data and any chain variables set by previous actions.

Available fields

Field	Example	Description
method	POST	HTTP method
path	/api/webhook	Request path
headers.<name>	headers.content-type	Request header
query.<name>	query.token	Query parameter
body.<path>	body.order.status	JSON body field (dot notation)

Examples

Stop chain for non-POST requests

{
  "conditions": [{"method": {"$eq": "POST"}}],
  "on_match": "continue",
  "on_no_match": "stop"
}

Only process specific event types

{
  "conditions": [
    {"body.type": {"$in": ["order.created", "order.updated", "order.completed"]}}
  ],
  "on_match": "continue",
  "on_no_match": "stop"
}

Complex condition with logical operators

{
  "conditions": [
    {
      "$and": [
        {"method": {"$eq": "POST"}},
        {"body.amount": {"$gte": 100}},
        {"headers.x-source": {"$exists": true}}
      ]
    }
  ],
  "on_match": "continue",
  "on_no_match": "stop"
}

Stop chain on match (inverse logic)

Use on_match: "stop" to halt the chain when a condition is true — useful for filtering out unwanted events:

{
  "conditions": [{"body.type": {"$eq": "ping"}}],
  "on_match": "stop",
  "on_no_match": "continue"
}
