The Variable condition block is used to compare a variable with a value or another variable. You can use it to create conditional logic in your bot based on user inputs, stored values, or system variables.

​
Components of a variable condition

Components of a variable condition
  • Label: A descriptive label for the condition, which will be displayed in the block on the canvas. This is optional and can be skipped.
  • Variable: The variable or value that the block will evaluate. The variable can be a user input, a stored value, or a system variable.
  • Comparison operator: The operator that the block will use to compare the variable with the value you specify. You can choose from a list of comparison operators, such as “equals,” “greater than,” “contains,” etc.
  • Value: The value that the block will compare with the variable. This can be a static value or a variable for dynamic comparisons.

  • Condition 1: User input contains “buy”
  • Condition 2: User input contains “rent”
Here’s how to set it up in the editor: Real estate conditions setup example Once you have set up the conditions, you can define the paths for each condition. Here’s an example: Real estate conditions example Based on the above, here’s how the bot will respond:
  • If the user input contains “buy,” the bot will respond with Great! Let me show you our available properties for sale.
  • If the user input contains “rent,” the bot will respond with Sure! We've got amazing properties for rent. Here's the list.
  • Else if none of the conditions are met, the bot will respond with I'm sorry, I didn't understand. Please respond by typing "Buy" or "Rent".
