What's new?
We have added a feature of having "IF" and "OR" condition to automation. Here are the benefits:
Efficiency: IF and OR conditions combined in automation allow for efficient decision-making and action-taking based on multiple scenarios, improving the overall efficiency of the automated processes.
Adaptive Automation: By utilizing these conditions, automated systems can adapt to varying conditions or inputs, making them more versatile and responsive.
Error Prevention: Properly implemented IF and OR conditions can help prevent errors in automation by ensuring that the system responds appropriately to different situations.
In summary, IF and OR conditions in automation help in creating adaptable, responsive, and error-resilient automated processes, allowing systems to make decisions and take actions based on changing conditions and criteria.
