Switch

Routes data to different branches based on conditions. Each item flowing through the Switch node is evaluated against your rules and sent to the first matching output, or to the fallback output if no rule matches.

Configuration

Routing Rules

You can define up to 10 routing rules. Each rule creates a separate output handle (labeled case-1, case-2, etc.) and contains a condition group with one or more conditions joined by AND/OR logic.

Each condition within a rule has three parts:

Part	Description
Input	A field path to evaluate, e.g., data.status or data.user.role
Operation	The comparison to perform (see table below)
Value	The value to compare against (not required for all operations)

Available Operations

Operation	Description	Requires Value
equals	Exact string match	Yes
not_equals	Does not match	Yes
greater_than	Numeric greater than	Yes
less_than	Numeric less than	Yes
greater_than_or_equals	Numeric greater than or equal	Yes
less_than_or_equals	Numeric less than or equal	Yes
contains	Input contains the value as a substring	Yes
not_contains	Input does not contain the value	Yes
starts_with	Input starts with the value	Yes
ends_with	Input ends with the value	Yes
in	Input matches one of the comma-separated values	Yes
not_in	Input does not match any of the comma-separated values	Yes
matches_regex	Input matches a regular expression	Yes
is_empty	Input is an empty string	No
is_not_empty	Input is not empty	No
is_true	Input is true or 1	No
is_false	Input is false or 0	No
is_type	Checks the data type of the input	Yes

Condition Logic

Within each rule, you can combine multiple conditions using:

• AND -- All conditions must be true for the rule to match
• OR -- At least one condition must be true for the rule to match

Output

The Switch node creates one output handle per rule, plus a fallback handle:

• case-1, case-2, ... case-N -- Items that match the corresponding rule
• fallback -- Items that do not match any rule

Each item is sent to the first matching rule only. If an item matches both rule 1 and rule 3, it goes to case-1.

TIP

Order your rules from most specific to least specific, since items are routed to the first match.

INFO

Items that arrive when no rules are configured will all be routed to the fallback output.
