# Workflow Actions - Check Condition

## Overview

The Check Condition action in workflows can be used to verify that a condition is met before continuing. Typically this is used to take one or more values from the workflow form as inputs to pass through a Connect action (using the Connect Action workflow action) and validate that some condition is true. For example, an input in a workflow form might be that the requestor must be in a particular department (Technology) in order for the workflow to move to the next step. The requestor distinguished name (dn) can be passed through to Connect as a parameter, and a Connect action can verify that the person has a value of “Technology” in their department attribute on their RapidIdentity profile.

| Field | Required (Y/N) | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Name | YES | Enter a name for this Check Condition action step. |
| Description | NO | Optional description of the Check Condition action step. |
| Previous Action | NO | A read-only field if a previous action exists, it will be populated with the name of that action. |
| Next Action | YES | Choose the next action step to perform if the condition is TRUE. |
| Next Action on False | YES | Choose the next action step to perform if the condition is FALSE. |
| Operation | YES | The Operation field defines which type of check to perform between Operands 1 and 2. There are four options: - **Match Any Against Regular Expression:** If *any* values resolved by Operand 1 match the regular expression defined for Operand 2, the condition will evaluate to `true` and the **Next Action** will execute next. Otherwise the **Next Action on False** will execute next. - **Match All Against Regular Expression:** If *all of* the values resolved by Operand 1 match the regular expression defined for Operand 2, the condition will evaluate to `true` and the Next Action will execute next. Otherwise the **Next Action on False** will execute next. ### **Note** If either of the regular expression options is chosen, the value defined for Operand 2 must be a valid [regular expression](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression). - **Match Any Against Expression:** If *any* values resolved by Operand 1 match the RapidIdentity expression in Operand 2, the condition will evaluate to `true` and the **Next Action** will execute next. Otherwise the **Next Action on False** will execute next. - **Match All Against Expression:** If all of the values resolved by Operand 1 match the RapidIdentity expression in Operand 2, the condition will evaluate to `true` and the **Next Action** will execute next. Otherwise the **Next Action on False** will execute next. ### **Note** If either of the expression options are chosen, the value defined for Operand 2 must be a valid [RapidIdentity Workflow expression](https://legacy-product-guides.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/ri-user-lts-20191h.identitymgmt.net/public/en/using-expressions-in-workflow-actions.html). |
| Operand 1 | YES | The criteria to check against Operand 2. This can be a string or expression. |
| Operand 2 | YES | The criteria against which Operand 1 is checked. For Regular Expression matches, this field must contain a regular expression. For Expression matches, this field must contain a RapidIdentity [Workflow expression](/v1/docs/expressions-in-workflow-actions). |
