--- title: Conditional logic in Power Automate · Tallyfy Pro description: Power Automate's conditional logic lets flows make decisions based on Tallyfy data - using IF-THEN structures, Switch controls, and nested conditions to route actions differently based on task statuses, form field values, and process conditions. lastUpdated: 2026-10-01T00:00:00.000Z source_url: html: https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/integrations/middleware/power-automate/using-conditional-logic-in-power-automate/ md: https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/integrations/middleware/power-automate/using-conditional-logic-in-power-automate/index.md --- Conditional logic makes your Power Automate flows smart. Instead of running the same actions every time, your flow checks Tallyfy data and picks a different path based on what it finds: sending escalation emails for high-priority [tasks](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/tracking-and-tasks/tasks/), routing approvals to different teams, or skipping steps entirely when they don’t apply. ## How conditional logic works with Tallyfy Your flow asks a yes-or-no question about Tallyfy data, then takes one path if true, another if false. A customer support [process](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/tracking-and-tasks/processes/) is a good example: the flow checks a “Priority” [form field](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/tracking-and-tasks/tasks/what-are-form-fields-in-tallyfy/) on each [task](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/tracking-and-tasks/tasks/). High priority gets escalated immediately. Low priority gets logged for routine follow-up. ## The Condition control 1. **Add a condition**: click **+ New step**, search for `Condition`, and select it from Controls. 2. **Structure**: the Condition control gives you three sections: * **IF:** Your condition based on Tallyfy data. * **IF YES (THEN):** Actions that run when the condition is true. * **IF NO (ELSE):** Actions that run when it’s false. 3. **Define the condition:** * **Value 1:** Pick dynamic content from a Tallyfy [connector](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/integrations/middleware/power-automate/how-can-i-integrate-tallyfy-with-microsoft-power-automate/) action (like the output of **Get User Tasks**) or type a static value. * **Operator:** Choose a comparison (`is equal to`, `contains`, `is greater than`, `starts with`, `is empty`, and their opposites). * **Value 2:** The value you’re comparing against (dynamic content or static). ## Building a conditional flow with Tallyfy Here’s a practical scenario: you’ve set up a Tallyfy webhook[1](#user-content-fn-1) that fires when someone completes a task. Your Power Automate flow receives that webhook data, then sends different email notifications based on the task’s priority level. 1. **Trigger: “When an HTTP request is received.”** * Start a new automated [cloud flow](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/integrations/middleware/power-automate/understanding-power-automate-basics/). * Use the **When an HTTP request is received** trigger, then paste the generated URL into your Tallyfy webhook configuration. * The webhook payload from Tallyfy includes task details and [form field](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/tracking-and-tasks/tasks/what-are-form-fields-in-tallyfy/) values. 2. **Action: Tallyfy - “Get User Tasks” (optional).** If you need additional [form field](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/tracking-and-tasks/tasks/what-are-form-fields-in-tallyfy/) data beyond what the webhook provides, add the Tallyfy connector’s **Get User Tasks** action to pull more details. 3. **Control: “Condition”.** Add a Condition control. * **Value 1:** Select the priority field from the webhook body or Tallyfy action output. * **Operator:** Select `is equal to`. * **Value 2:** Type `High`. 4. **IF YES branch:** When priority equals “High”: * Add action: **Send an email (V2)**. * **To:** Manager or escalation contact. * **Subject:** `Urgent: Tallyfy task '[Task Name]' needs attention`. * **Body:** Include the task details and a link to the Tallyfy [task](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/tracking-and-tasks/tasks/). 5. **IF NO branch:** When priority isn’t “High”: * Add action: **Send an email (V2)**. * **To:** The assigned team member. * **Subject:** `Tallyfy task '[Task Name]' completed - routine follow-up`. * **Body:** Summary of the task and next steps. 6. **Save and test your flow.** (See [managing and monitoring flows](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/integrations/middleware/power-automate/managing-and-monitoring-power-automate-flows/) for testing tips.) ## Visualizing the conditional flow ![Visualizing the conditional flow](https://tallyfy.com/products/d2-diagrams/docs/pro/integrations/middleware/power-automate/using-conditional-logic-in-power-automate-0.svg) The diamond is the decision point. Two paths branch from it, each leading to a different email action based on the form field value. ## Multiple conditions with AND/OR You’ll often need to check more than one piece of Tallyfy data at once. * **Adding rows:** Inside a Condition, click **+ Add** > **Add row**. * **AND logic:** The default. All conditions must be true. * **OR logic:** Switch the operator at the top to OR. Any single true condition is enough. *Example (AND):* IF a Tallyfy [task’s](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/tracking-and-tasks/tasks/) Priority [form field](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/tracking-and-tasks/tasks/what-are-form-fields-in-tallyfy/) is “High” **AND** its deadline has passed, THEN send an escalation alert. ## Nested conditions Need more complex decision trees? Place a Condition control inside another Condition’s branch. *Example:* First, check if the Tallyfy [process](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/tracking-and-tasks/processes/) type is “Sales Order.” If yes, nest another condition to check whether the order value ([form field](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/tracking-and-tasks/tasks/what-are-form-fields-in-tallyfy/)) exceeds $10,000. When nesting gets messy, switch to a Switch control instead (see [advanced conditions and expressions](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/integrations/middleware/power-automate/advanced-conditions-and-expressions/)). ## Switch control for multiple options The **Switch** control works better than nested conditions when you’re checking one Tallyfy value against several options. More detail in our [advanced conditions and expressions](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/integrations/middleware/power-automate/advanced-conditions-and-expressions/) article. * **Structure:** Pick a value to switch on (like a Tallyfy [form field](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/tracking-and-tasks/tasks/what-are-form-fields-in-tallyfy/)). Create multiple **CASE** branches for each possible value. The **DEFAULT** branch catches everything else. *Example:* A Tallyfy [task](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/tracking-and-tasks/tasks/) has a “Support Ticket Category” [form field](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/tracking-and-tasks/tasks/what-are-form-fields-in-tallyfy/) with values like “Billing Issue” and “Technical Problem.” * SWITCH ON “Support Ticket Category”: * CASE “Billing Issue”: Notify finance. * CASE “Technical Problem”: Create an urgent [task](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/tracking-and-tasks/tasks/) in a Tallyfy “Tech Support” [process](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/tracking-and-tasks/processes/). * DEFAULT: Notify general support. ## Tips for conditions with Tallyfy data * **Match data types**: use [expressions](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/integrations/middleware/power-automate/advanced-conditions-and-expressions/) like `int()` to convert Tallyfy text values when comparing against numbers. * **Handle case sensitivity**: wrap text in `toLower()` for case-insensitive comparisons. * **Use Tallyfy connector outputs**: data from Tallyfy [connector](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/integrations/middleware/power-automate/how-can-i-integrate-tallyfy-with-microsoft-power-automate/) actions should drive your conditional logic. * **Test every branch**: run through each path with different Tallyfy data inputs to catch edge cases. ## Related articles [**Power Automate > Advanced conditions and expressions in Power Automate**](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/integrations/middleware/power-automate/advanced-conditions-and-expressions/) Power Automate expressions, grouped conditions, and Switch controls handle Tallyfy workflow… [**Automations > Logic operations explained**](https://tallyfy.com/products/pro/documenting/templates/automations/logic-explained/) Tallyfy automations pair an If with a Then instead of using flowcharts.
