If/Else branching now available in preview
We're excited to announce that If/Else logical branching is now available in preview! This is just the first of many powerful control flow operators we're adding to the product.
Getting Started
- Open https://pipedream.com/settings/alpha and enable "Control Flow Preview" (this will surface If/Else in the Control Flow section when adding steps in the builder)
- Watch a demo (recorded pre-release)
- Check out the preview docs
Key Capabilities
- Build and run non-linear workflows
- Merge and continue after a non-linear operation
- Nest control flow operators for advanced use cases
- Return HTTP responses during or after non-linear operations
- Execute long running workflows (workflow timeout resets at each control flow boundary)
Known Limitations
- Control flow is not yet supported in projects using GitHub Sync
- Share links / templates do not work as expected for workflows using control flow
- Some UI polish and performance optimization is pending
Plans and Pricing
- You may build workflows using If/Else on any plan, but you must be on the Advanced plan or above to deploy
- If you are a new subscriber you can try the Advanced plan for free; if you are a Basic subscriber, you can upgrade or request a free trial
- Usage is calculated for each workflow segment
What's Next?
In addition to addressing the known limitations, we plan to add support for more operators and capabilities including:
- Switch
- Parallel
- Wait for callback
- Looping
- Subworkflows
- Advanced error handling
