If/Else Action: Dynamic Custom Value Picker — Expanded Field Support
What’s new?
You can now use the existing Dynamic Custom Value picker with more field types in the If/Else Action:
Expanded Dynamic Fields Support
- Numeric (scores, counts)
- Date (appointment dates, renewals)
- Select / Dropdown (advanced: requires option IDs)
- Monetary (invoice totals)
This lets you compare or set values using live variables from earlier steps or stored fields—no more hard-typing numbers or text.
How to use it
- Add an If/Else action in your workflow.
- In the condition row, switch the right-hand input to Dynamic Value, then pick the earlier step’s output. Choose the appropriate operator (number, date, or value).
- Save and publish.
Note: Select / Dropdown fields use option IDs (not the display names). In many cases you can look up IDs (e.g., Pipeline/Stage IDs) via exports or helper guides.
Why we built it and what's changed
Teams often had to add extra fields or duplicate logic just to compare against a value calculated upstream. Dynamic picking removes those workarounds - you branch directly on the variable you already have, using the same merge-field/variable model used elsewhere in the workflow.
Example use case
- When a new proposal comes in, the workflow pulls the proposal value from an earlier step (for example, a form submission or a webhook) as a dynamic field. If the value is $25,000 or more, the workflow can automatically assign it to a senior partner and flag it for priority follow-up. If the proposal is for less than $25,000, it simply follows the standard process.
