One tool you’re likely to use a lot is a decision step found in the logic tool section.
In this cycle, I’m listing all the files in a Google Drive folder and adding them to a spreadsheet.
Let’s say I was only interested in files that had the word ‘banking’ somewhere in the file name.
This is where a decision step would be useful, and you can add a decision step like any other step and then set it up.
We start by defining which source data we’re interested in.
There are a number of options here that you can use to compare arrays, strings, numbers, and dates, etc.
You can see a description of exactly how your decision step will act here.
For the purpose of this cycle, we want to check if the file name contains ‘banking’.
It’s a good idea to give your decision step a helpful name so you can see at a glance what every step in your cycle does.
Now any file from step one that matches the criteria will pass through the true root here.
Any file it doesn’t match the criteria will pass through the false root.
