If
Runs on: Shared — pure logic, runs on the Community backend or inside a chatbox overlay.
The If node is the most flexible comparison check in the flow system. It accepts any type on its A input and adapts its available operations to match: strings get equality, inequality, contains, starts-with, and ends-with; numbers get the full set of equality and relational operators; booleans get equality and inequality. When A is a complex object type, you can pick a specific field from that object to compare rather than the whole thing.
The B side can be wired to a second input handle or entered inline as a literal value directly on the node — no extra Data node required. When the comparison is true, the flow continues down Pass, forwarding the original A input unchanged. When false, it goes down Fail. This makes the node a natural replacement for the simpler Match or Math Check nodes when you need more control in one place.
Inputs
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
a | any | The primary value to compare. Passed through on whichever output fires. |
b | any | Optional second value to compare against. When not connected, enter the comparison value inline on the node. |
Outputs
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
pass | pass-through | The original A input, forwarded when the comparison is true. |
fail | pass-through | The original A input, forwarded when the comparison is false. |
Configuration
- Operation: The comparison to perform. Options depend on the type of A:
=,≠,contains,starts,endsfor strings;=,≠,>,<,≥,≤for numbers;=,≠for booleans. - Inline B value: When the B input is not connected, type the comparison value directly into the field on the node.
- Field path (objects only): When A is an object type, select which field to extract for comparison.
- Case sensitive (strings only): When enabled, string comparisons are case-sensitive.
Example
After a Channel Cheer trigger, connect the bits amount to A, leave B disconnected, and set the inline B value to 1000 with the operator set to greater-than-or-equal. Viewers who cheer 1000 or more bits go down the Pass path to a special VIP alert and a thank-you TTS message. Smaller cheers take the Fail path to a standard acknowledgment.
