October 14, 20242 min read

Gold Star Pro has introduced a significant update to its If-Else action, revolutionizing how users can streamline their workflows. With the addition of scenario-based recipes and several other improvements, creating conditions is now more intuitive and time-efficient. Let’s break down these exciting changes and how you can use them.

What’s New in the If-Else Action?

Scenario-Based Recipes

The most prominent feature of this update is the introduction of scenario-based recipes. Instead of building If-Else conditions from scratch, users can now select from pre-built templates. These recipes aim to cover common scenarios, making the setup process much simpler and quicker.

  • How to use scenario-based recipes:

    1. When adding an If-Else action, choose from one of the 10 pre-built templates.

    2. The dropdown will display various scenarios, such as:

      • Opening and closing hours

      • Contact replies

      • Tag-based conditions

    3. These templates will also inform you of any prerequisites needed, saving you time and effort.

Enhanced Branch Functionality

Gold Star Pro has enhanced how branches are displayed and managed within the workflow builder. Key improvements include:

  • Concise text summaries: Each branch now has a clear, summarized view of its conditions. This provides an at-a-glance understanding of what each branch does.

  • Multiple conditions indicator: For branches with more than one condition, a “+X more conditions” label will appear, allowing you to expand and view all conditions without cluttering the interface.

New Time of Day and Date Options

Users now have more control over time-based conditions. Previously, only hour-based selections were available, but this update introduces specific time selections down to 15-minute intervals. This feature is perfect for workflows that require more granular control over when actions should trigger.

  • New condition options:

    • Select specific dates and times, allowing for more precise scheduling of tasks.

    • Set time-based conditions that are as narrow as 15 minutes, providing more flexibility than before.

  • UI improvements:

    • A cleaner layout makes navigation smoother.

    • Drag-and-drop handles allow you to easily rearrange branches for better organization.
