Switch

OVERVIEW:

The 'Switch' Activity is used to identify unique branches of the selected data source. This allows for a single data source to have unique chains of Activities for every different type of values. For example, a single data source could contain logic to handle different types of events.

After opening the 'Switch' activity, you will get the below configuration panel.

Default Configuration Parameters:

Cases:

Add multiple and different types of cases to perform unique operations in each case.

HOW IT WORKS:

A Simple Example to configure the 'Switch' activity in PopFlow Studio.

Switch activity can be used if some data has unique requirements. You can add multiple cases to perform a unique operation on different data.
To add the cases click on the case button. It will add a panel as shown below.

The best way to see the power of this activity is to step through an extended example. Let us suppose that we have three types of customers: Bronze, Gold, and Platinum. We might also have customers that have not yet been entered into a particular program. For every customer, we need to execute different activities.
We are getting the customer details from the 'HTTPS' activity. you can refer to the 'HTTPS' activity to configure it.
Now, let’s create Case Switch that branches the workflow based on the CustomerType. After creating it will look like as shown below:

Note that the default case would be used to handle customers that have not yet been entered into a program.
A case can also be removed by clicking on the red delete button.
After adding the case you will notice that on the workflow designer page there are some buttons added as shown below.

You can add different types of activities and create different logic for all types of customers.
You can add activity on the 'After Switch' button. When the case will complete its execution 'After Switch' button will start executing.
