Use ActionCadenceRule to learn about a branch step, including its logic and what the next step is. This object is available in API version 48.0 and later. ## Supported Calls create(), delete(), describeSObjects(), getDeleted(), getUpdated(), query(), retrieve(), update(), upsert() The supported calls for ActionCadenceRule are inherited from ActionCadenceStep. ## Fields | Field | Details | | --- | --- | | ActionCadenceStepId | Type reference Properties Create, Filter, Group, Sort Description The ActionCadenceStep that this rule is associated with. This field is a relationship field. Relationship Name ActionCadenceStep Relationship Type Lookup Refers To ActionCadenceStep | | ConditionLogic | Type string Properties Create, Filter, Group, Sort, Update Description The logical operator used to evaluate the rule conditions. Possible values are: - AND If this rule has several conditions, all of them must be true for this step to be true. | | GlobalEventType | Type string Properties Create, Filter, Group, Nillable, Sort, Update Description If the action cadence rule contains a global exit condition, this field contains the type of event that the rule represents. Possible values are: - EmailReply - EmailHardBounce - EmailSoftBounce - CallMeaningfulConnect - CallNotInterested - CallUnqualified - CallLeftVoicemail - CallCallBackLater This field is available in API version 49.0 and later. | | GraphState | Type picklist Properties Create, Defaulted on create, Filter, Group, Nillable, Restricted picklist, Sort, Update Description Represents the state of the ActionCadenceRule within the step graph, or sequence, of the related action cadence. Available in API version 53.0 and later. Possible values are: - Included—This step rule is part of the step graph. - Orphaned—This step rule was removed from the step graph before the action cadence was activated. Orphaned step rules are deleted upon activation. - Pending—This step rule has been created but hasn’t been added to the step graph. Pending step rules can be added to the step graph in the future. - Retired—This step rule was previously part of an active action cadence step graph and was removed during an edit after activation. Retired step rules can have associated step trackers. | | OutcomeNextStepName | Type string Properties Create, Filter, Group, Nillable, Sort, Update Description The next step in the action cadence if this rule evaluates as true. If this rule evaluates as false, the next step is ActionCadenceStep.BranchDefaultStepName. | | ParentRuleName | Type string Properties Create, Filter, Group, Nillable, Sort, Update Description The value of the RuleName field of the previous rule in the action cadence. Must contain a valid rule name value unless this rule is the root rule. null if this rule is a root rule. This field is available in API version 49.0 and later. | | RuleName | Type string Properties Create, Filter, Group, Sort, Update Description The name given to the rule. Every rule in an action cadence must have a unique name. | | RuleType | Type picklist Properties Create, Defaulted on create, Filter, Group, Nillable, Restricted picklist, Sort, Update Description The type of step that this rule applies to. Possible values are: - BranchStep — The rule evaluates the condition of a branch step. A branch step is an ActionCadenceStep record with the field type equal to Branch. - RepeatedStep— The rule evaluates the repeat steps for quick cadence. Available in API version 58.0 and later. - RootStep— The rule evaluates a global exit condition. - SubRootStep—Available in API version 58.0 and later. This field is available in API version 49.0 and later. | ## Usage Use ActionCadenceRule to see all the rules associated with a branch step: select RuleName from ActionCadenceRule where ActionCadenceStep.ActionCadence.Name = "High Priority CFO" #### See Also - [ActionCadence](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.object_reference.meta/object_reference/sforce_api_objects_actioncadence.htm "Represents the definition of a cadence.
