How to use conditionals in workflows in Bubble.io?

Understanding Conditionals in Bubble.io Workflows Conditionals in workflows are crucial for automating specific actions based on set criteria in Bubble.io. This step-by-step guide will help you understand how to use conditionals effectively. Step 1: Setting Up a New Workflow

Navigate to the Bubble editor and click on the "Workflow" tab.
Click on the "Click here to add an event..." button to create a new workflow event.

Step 2: Adding a Conditional

Once you've added an event, select the event trigger (e.g., "When Button is Clicked").
Click on the "Only When" field, which appears under the event trigger to add a conditional.

Step 3: Defining the Conditional Expression

In the "Only When" field, you need to define the conditional expression. Use Bubble's dynamic expression evaluator. For example, "This Button's value is 'Submit'".
Select the elements and their properties you wish to use in the conditional. Bubble will provide real-time suggestions to help you build the expression.

Step 4: Adding Actions

Click on "Add an Action" under the event trigger. Choose the action you want to occur if the condition is met (e.g., navigate to another page, show an alert, etc.).
Configure the action details according to your needs. This includes setting destinations, data to send, etc.

Step 5: Testing the Workflow

Test your workflow to ensure the conditionals are working correctly. Click "Preview" to run the application and perform the action that should trigger the workflow.
Verify that the workflow executes only under the defined conditional circumstances.

Additional Tips

Use nested conditionals for more complex logic. Add another "Only When" condition within an existing workflow action to refine the logic further.
Debugging tools in Bubble.io can help you see which part of the workflow did not execute as expected.

Using conditionals in workflows in Bubble.io allows you to control the flow of events efficiently, making your no-code application behave dynamically based on user actions and other criteria.
