n8n If node explained: branch your workflow with a real example

Описание и применение

В n8n условный узел IF позволяет разделять поток данных на два пути: при условии "если сумма заказа больше 100", отправлять уведомление в Slack, иначе отправлять заказ в API выполнения.

Задача

Determine which downstream action to take based on a numeric condition in an incoming order JSON.

Результат

Orders over $100 are routed to Slack for review, while smaller orders bypass Slack and go straight to fulfillment, improving efficiency and reducing noise.

Рабочий процесс

• Receive order via Webhook node
• Add IF node with condition: $json.total is greater than 100
• Connect true output to Slack node to post "Order for $120 needs review"
• Connect false output to HTTP Request node to send order to fulfillment

Доказательства

Real example: order triage. You have a Webhook node receiving orders as JSON. Each order has a total. Orders over $100 should alert your team in Slack; smaller orders go straight to your fulfillment API.

Источник

Only one branch runs. n8n evaluates the condition and follows one path.
