# Condition

For chatbot flows requiring a logical condition to be evaluated to branch out to the next step in the flow, you can use the condition action block.

You can create a set of conditions for each branch in the chatbot flow.

Each condition is made up of:

* **Variable** - which contains the value to be compared.
* **Operator** - specifies the operation to be carried out.
* **Value** - the value against which the variable's value is to be compared.

All conditions will be evaluated with **ANY** if you want any one condition to be satisfied, and ALL if you want all conditions to be satisfied.

| Operator         | Description                                                                                      | Example                               |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------- |
| Equals to        | Commonly used when you want to match the value of the variable with the defined value            | "City" '**Equals To**' "New York"     |
| Not equals to    | Commonly used when you don't want the value of the variable to be matched with the defined value | "City" '**Not Equals To**' "New York" |
| Contains         | Commonly used when you want the variable to contain the defined value                            | "URL" '**Contains**' "Web"            |
| Does not contain | Commonly used when you do not want the variable to contain the defined value                     | "URL" '**Does Not Contain**' "Web"    |
| Is empty         | You can use this operator to identify whether the variable is empty or not                       | "Phone" is '**Empty**'                |
| Is not empty     | You can use this operator to ensure that variable is not empty                                   | "Name" is '**Not Empty**'             |

### Default condition <a href="#default-condition" id="default-condition"></a>

If none of the conditions are satisfied, the chat flow will automatically proceed toward the 'Default condition' branch on the bot builder canvas.

This default branch cannot be deleted.
