OR Conditional Logic

Darren Bennett

The ability to have an OR condition. Where multiple separate conditions could trigger a set of actions.
E.g.
If color is red OR color is blue, execute a set of responses.

This would be really helpful indeed, at the moment I am having a huge list of conditions that are difficult to maintain because of this limitation.

'OR' Conditions - Instead of only defaulting to 'AND' when you add another condition

Simone Phillips

Add an alternative condition to trigger the same set of responses, without narrowing the scope of your first condition.

But you can add another condition. It is a "OR" condition. And then copy actions from first conditions to second

Artem Fedorov: Yes true, but that further complicates the document. Having the OR would help keep the trigger list organised.

Simone Phillips

Artem Fedorov: Yes, especially when you have a long, complicated list of responses

Boris Prokhorov

Artem Fedorov: Nope. If you have, for example, 3 conditions, and 2 of them are go through, your action will be executed 2 times. Cause Protopie goes through all conditions and then executes all actions at the same time.

More clarity and control over conditional logic with multiple clauses

Kairavi Chahal

Within a condition, I can add several clauses, but this only behaves as an AND. It would be useful to switch to an OR or nest and club multiple ANDs/ORs within one condition piece. Currently this can be achieved by having one condition piece for each combination, but this gets unwieldy if you have more than 2 or 3 variables you are conditioning on.
