# Condition (data)

**Condition (data)** compares [flow tags](/documentation/flowcrafter/building/using-flow-tags/) or plain values from earlier steps. It does not require a Gravity Forms entry.

## When to use it

Use it for API responses, webhook payloads, query counts, AI output, or any decision based on step output rather than entry fields.

## Settings

| Setting | What it controls |
|---|---|
| **Conditions** | One or more rules, each containing a source value, an operator, and a target value. Either value can be a flow tag or literal text. |
| Match | Whether **all** rules or **any** rule must match. |

Core operators are **is**, **is not**, **greater than**, **less than**, **contains**, **starts with**, and **ends with**.

:::tip[Need more powerful data comparisons?]
[GP Advanced Conditional Logic](https://gravitywiz.com/documentation/gravity-forms-advanced-conditional-logic/) adds multiple Any/All rule groups and extra operators such as **is in**, **does not contain**, and fuzzy matching. Use it to combine groups of comparisons over your step output or match values more flexibly.

## Output and branches

- **Yes** runs when the configured logic matches.
- **No** runs when it does not.
- `result` is `yes` or `no`.
- `logic_type` is `all` or `any`.
- `rules` records the resolved values, operator, and result for each comparison.

## Good-to-knows

- An unresolved flow tag remains as its literal `{{ ... }}` text instead of becoming blank. Test both branches with representative output so missing runtime paths are obvious.

## Example

To branch on whether a query found registrations:

1. Add **[Get Entries](/documentation/flowcrafter/nodes/actions/get-entries/)** and configure the form and filters.
2. In Condition (data), compare the Get Entries `count` flow tag with `0` using **greater than**.
3. Connect **Yes** to **[Send Email](/documentation/flowcrafter/nodes/actions/send-email/)** and include the count in a registration summary.
4. Connect **No** to **[Add Entry Note](/documentation/flowcrafter/nodes/actions/add-entry-note/)** to record that no matching registrations were found.
