Browser Conditional Logic with IF Node

Conditional Logic in Browser Workflows

Learn how to use the IF node to create smart, conditional workflows that respond to different web content scenarios in your browser extension automation.

What You’ll Learn

In this video, you’ll discover how to:

• Conditional Browser Logic: Make decisions based on extracted web content
• Content-Based Branching: Route workflows differently based on what’s found on web pages
• Dynamic Response: Create workflows that adapt to different website structures
• Error Handling: Gracefully handle cases where expected content isn’t found

Common Browser Use Cases

The IF node is particularly powerful in browser extension workflows for:

• Content Validation: Check if specific text or elements exist on a page
• Dynamic Extraction: Extract different data based on page type or structure
• Multi-Site Workflows: Handle different websites with varying layouts
• User Input Response: React to different user selections or interactions

Browser-Specific Considerations

When using conditional logic in browser workflows:

• Content Loading: Account for dynamic content that loads after page render
• Element Availability: Check for DOM elements before attempting extraction
• Security Constraints: Handle cases where content access is restricted
• Performance: Optimize conditions to minimize browser resource usage

Practical Example

This video demonstrates building a workflow that:

1. Extracts text from a selected area of a web page
2. Uses an IF node to check if the text contains specific keywords
3. Routes to different processing paths based on the content found
4. Handles cases where no relevant content is detected

Next Steps

After mastering the IF node, you’ll be ready to create sophisticated browser workflows that intelligently respond to different web content scenarios. The next video in this series covers combining multiple browser extension nodes for complex automation tasks.
