Zibot Paths

Execute different Zibots based on one or more conditions.

Updated over 11 months ago

Summary: Zibot Paths allows Flows to execute different Zibots based on one or more conditions.

Now there’s no more need to duplicate your flows; this new conditional Zibot helps you build multiple outcomes into one Flow, so you can automate anything you imagine.

It’s super easy to configure them; with our intuitive UI, you can select from a list of predefined data to create as many conditions as you require.

Available on: Pro & Enterprise Ziflow editions.
