When you have multiple condition paths in a single automation, does the system read all of them?

When you have multiple condition paths in a single automation, does the system read all of them and execute all that are true or does it stop reading when one is true and only executes that one? I previously understood that the second statement is true. However, I have a sheet that was generating multiple documents from one automation with multiple condition paths.

Hey @Knav132 ! A tricky one… But an interesting question: Does your sheet have a bunch of rows? If so, you might as well need to add some logical conditions to limit it if the intended result is to run on a single row within the sheet. Else I believe it depends on which logical structure you're using, whether it's an AND or an OR condition (this can be adjusted by selecting it within the given logic)

Hi,

I hope you're well and safe!

No, it stops as soon as the criteria match.

Make sense?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
