Examples

Example 1: Execute an if query

Goal: Create an if action checking whether a specific field exists.

The condition parameter specifies the expression that is used as the condition for the if query.

{
  "type": "if",
  "params": {
    "condition": {
      "left": {
        "context": "namedForm",
        "field": "shroedingersCat"
      },
      "mode": "exists"
    },
    "then": [
      {
        "type": "showMessage",
        "params": {
          "text": "does exist"
        }
      }
    ],
    "else": [
      {
        "type": "showMessage",
        "params": {
          "text": "does not exist"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Depending on the result of the if query, either the actions in the then or else parameter are executed.

Result:

An if action has been created.
