# 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.

With the help of Branch action block, you have the ability to create multiple branches based on certain conditions, which have their own conversational flows.

{% hint style="success" %}
The default Sopro flow is using conditions to supports different message chat flows for identified prospects vs identified companies vs unidentified visitors.
{% endhint %}

#### Use case scenario: <a href="#use-case-scenario" id="use-case-scenario"></a>

Following are few of the scenarios in which the branch action block can be used:

* Let's say you want to separate the flows for identified prospects vs identified companies vs unidentified visitors
* When you want to branch out the flow based on a the time the chat is received.

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.

### Operators supported

There are various types of operators that Sopro Webchat supports, they are:

| 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**'             |
