How to Add Conditional Logic in Your TexAu Workflow

Want your automation to make decisions based on simple logic? The Router node helps your TexAu workflows branch based on Yes/No conditions, just like making choices in real life.

This article will show you how to use the Router node effectively to build smarter, more dynamic workflows.

What is a Router?

A Router is a logic node that checks a condition based on previous steps in your workflow. Depending on whether the condition is true or false, your workflow will follow one of two paths:

• Yes - if the condition is true
• No - if the condition is false

Important: The Router only supports two outcomes. It cannot be used for multi-condition or multi-branch logic.

When and How to Use a Router

Use a Router when you want your workflow to go in different directions based on a simple Yes or No answer. It’s helpful when the next step depends on earlier data, like checking if someone is already connected with you on LinkedIn or if you have their email.

Example: LinkedIn Lead Nurturing

Let’s say you want to send a message to a lead, but only if you're already connected on LinkedIn.

With a Router, you can:

• If connected: Go straight to "Send Message."
• If not connected: If not, send a connection request → wait a few hours → then send the message.

This way, your workflow adapts smartly without any manual checks.

Note: A Router can only check one condition at a time and has only two outcomes: Yes or No. If you need more options, you can add more Router nodes in a chain.

How to Add and Configure a Router

1. Open Your Workflow

• Go to your TexAu dashboard
• Open an existing workflow or create a new one

2. Insert the Router Node

• Click the + icon at the point in your workflow where you want to insert a decision step
• Select Router from the list of operations

Note: The Router cannot be the first node in a workflow. It must follow a previous action, such as a search or profile lookup.

3. Set the Condition (The "Yes or No" Question)

• Click the Router node to open its settings
• Choose the condition to evaluate (for example: Is Connected?)
• Define the action paths for each result:\
  • Yes → Continue to Auto Message
  • No → Use Auto Connect, add a Delay, then send a message

You have just taught your automation how to make a decision!

4. Connect the Next Steps

You will see two little lines coming out of the Router:

• One for Yes
• One for No

Just drag each line to the next action you want. It’s like connecting puzzle pieces!

5. Save and Run Your Workflow

• Click Save
• Run the workflow using test inputs or live data.

Best Practices

• When using a Router, stick to clear Yes or No questions.
• Keep it straightforward and meaningful, think along the lines of “Is it connected?” or “Do we have email?”
• If your “No” option triggers a connection request, remember to add a little delay before sending a message; you don’t want your automation to rush things!
• Also, try not to pile on too many Routers unless absolutely necessary, as it can quickly become chaotic and hard to follow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a Router as the first node in a workflow?

No. A Router must follow another step, such as a data search or input.

Can I use more than two outcomes in a Router?

No. Routers only support two outcomes: Yes and No. If you need more complex logic, use additional Routers.

Can I check multiple conditions with a single Router?

Unfortunately no. One Router = One Question. If you want to check more stuff, use separate Routers for each.
