Switch

Compares an input value against a list of predefined values and routes the workflow to the matching branch.

Purpose

Use the Switch task when a workflow needs to branch into more than two paths based on the value of a variable. Define the possible values as switch cases, and the workflow will follow the connector whose label matches the input. If no case matches, execution follows the default branch. This is the right choice when an If Statement would require an impractical chain of nested conditions.

Inputs

Field	Type	Required	Description
Switch Input	Text	Yes	The value to compare against the switch cases. Typically a variable reference from a previous task.
Switch Values	List	No	The list of values to match against. Each entry creates a corresponding output connector on the node.

Outputs

This task performs routing and does not produce data output variables. Each value in the Switch Values list becomes a named output connector. If no value matches the input, the workflow follows a connector labelled default.

Examples

Route by numeric result

Direct the workflow into one of three branches based on a calculated value.

Field	Value
Switch Input	MathOperations1.Result
Switch Values	1
Switch Values	2
Switch Values	3

If the result is 2, the workflow follows the 2 connector. Any other value follows default.
