            Flow Orchestration Operators in Decision Elements

            Use condition operators to verify the value of a selected resource. Conditions are used in Decision elements.

            Required Editions

            View supported editions for Flow Orchestration.

            Use this reference to understand the supported operators. The list is organized according to the data type that you select for Resource.

            Apex-Defined

            To determine which operators are supported, match the @AuraEnabled attribute’s Apex data type with the Flow Orchestration data type in this reference.

            Boolean

            Check whether a Boolean resource’s value matches another value or resource.

            Operator True if... Supported Data Types
            Does Not Equal The value of the selected Resource doesn’t match what you enter or select for Value. Boolean
            Equals

            • If the orchestration run took an outcome, that decision outcome resolves to true.
            • If the orchestration run evaluated the manual conditions for a decision outcome, but didn’t take it, that decision outcome resolves to false.
            • If the orchestration run didn’t evaluate the manual conditions for a decision outcome, the decision outcome resolves to null.
            • If the orchestration run used AI to determine which decision outcome to take, all other decision outcomes resolve to false.
            • If the orchestration run executed a stage element without error, the stage element resolves to true.
            • If the orchestration run encountered a fault during its execution of a stage element, the stage element resolves to false.
            • If the orchestration run didn’t execute a stage element, the stage element resolves to null.

            Check whether a Picklist resource’s value matches or contains another value or resource.

            Note
            Note These operators treat the resource’s value as a text value.
            Operator True If Supported Data Types
            Contains

            The value for Resource contains what’s entered or selected for Value.

            For example, if the value of {!varPicklist} is yellow-green, the condition {!varPicklist} Contains green evaluates to TRUE.

            Multi-Select Picklist

            Check whether a multi-select picklist resource’s value matches or contains another value or resource.

            Note
            Note These operators treat the resource’s value as a text value. If the resource’s value includes multiple items, the operators treat the value as one string that happens to include semicolons. It doesn’t treat each selection as a different value. For example, the operators treat red; blue; green as a single value rather than three separate values.
            Operator True If Supported Data Types
            Contains

            The value for Resource contains what’s entered or selected for Value.

            When you use this operator for a multi-select picklist resource, be aware of the values that a user can enter. If you want to check that a specific value is included and that value is also included as part of another value, create an orchestration formula resource that uses the INCLUDES() function.

            For example, your org has a Color multi-select picklist value. Among the possible values are “green” and “yellow-green”. If both “green” and “yellow-green” are acceptable values, use the Contains operator in an orchestration condition. If only “green” is an acceptable value, create a formula that uses the INCLUDES() function.

            • Date

            • Number
            • Picklist
            • Text
            Does Not Equal

            The value for Resource doesn’t match what’s entered or selected for Value.

            Order matters. If you aren’t sure which order the values that you’re checking for appear in, use the INCLUDES() function in an orchestration formula. For example, if you compare “red; blue; green” to “blue; green; red” using the Does Not Equal operator, that condition resolves to true.

            • Currency

            • Number
            • Picklist
            • Text
            Equals

            The value for Resource exactly matches what’s entered or selected for Value.

            Order matters. If you aren’t sure of the order that the values you’re checking for appear, use the INCLUDES() function in an orchestration formula. For example, if you compare “red; blue; green” to “blue; green; red” using the Equals operator, that condition resolves to false.
