Ask your admin to add it to your profile or permission set. Before you begin, add the Wait element to your flow.. 1. Identify the logic between the conditions.
Option Behavior
Always Wait—No Conditions
All Conditions Are Met If one of the conditions is false, the flow doesn’t wait for the associated resume event.
Any Condition Is Met If one of the conditions is true, the flow waits for the associated resume event.
Custom Condition Logic Is Met

When you select this option, provide the condition logic by entering up to 1000 characters. Use:

  • Numbers to refer to each condition
  • AND, OR, or NOT to identify which combination of conditions must be true
  • Parentheses to group parts of the string together

If you enter AND, it’s the same as if you selected All Conditions Are Met. If you enter OR, it’s the same as if you selected Any Condition Is Met. If you enter any other logic, make sure that you include a number for each condition.

For example, for 1 AND NOT(2 OR 3), the flow evaluates whether the first condition is true, and the second or third condition is false.

2. Define conditions. At run time, the conditions are evaluated in the order you specify.
Column Header Description
Resource Flow resource to evaluate the value of.

Value
