Branch

Type: conditional.

#What it does

1. Reads the first value named in input_variables from the call's state.
2. Compares it, as lower-case text with spaces trimmed, to each key in mappings. A yes/no value reads as "true" or "false".
3. Goes to the matching path's step (or steps, if the path is a list).
4. If nothing matches it takes the default path. With no default it follows its next, and with neither it stops there.

In the editor each path is a dot on the card; drag from it to the step it leads to. Paths show the step they go to.

#Settings

Everything goes in the step's parameters. In the editor, click the step to open its settings.

input_variables{ name: type }

In the editor: Decide on. Something an earlier step decided, like End the call. Default: {"hangup":"bool"}.

mappings{ value: step | step[] }

In the editor: Paths. One path per answer. Connect each path to the step it leads to. Default: {"true":"","false":""}.
