What and how it can be used:
The If-Else component routes an input message to a corresponding output based on text comparison. It evaluates the input text against defined conditions and directs the flow to the matching output path. This component enables text-based conditional routing in workflows.
When/how the component should be used:
- Use when you need to route messages based on text content.
- Ideal for directing user messages to different handlers based on keywords.
- Add an If-Else component to your flow, and then configure it as follows:
- Text Input: Connect the Text Input port to a Chat Input component or another Message input.
- Match Text: Enter .*(urgent|warning|caution).* so the component looks for these values in incoming input. The regex match is case sensitive, so if you need to look for all permutations of warning, enter warning|Warning|WARNING.
- Operator: Select regex.
- Case True: In the component’s header menu, click Controls, enable the Case True parameter, click Close, and then enter New Message Detected in the field.
- The Case True message is sent from the True output port when the match condition evaluates to true.
- No message is set for Case False so the component doesn’t emit a message when the condition evaluates to false.
- Depending on what you want to happen when the outcome is True, add components to your flow to execute that logic e.g Language Model, Prompt Template & Chat Output.
- Repeat the same process with another set of Language Model, Prompt Template, and Chat Output components for the False outcome.
