# Condition

For chatbot flows requiring a logical condition to be evaluated to branch out to the next step in the flow, you can use the condition action block.

Setting up 'Branch' action block

You can create a set of conditions for each branch in the chatbot flow.

Each condition is made up of:

* **Variable** - which contains the value to be compared.
* **Operator** - specifies the operation to be carried out.
* **Value** - the value against which the variable's value is to be compared.

All conditions will be evaluated with **ANY** if you want any one condition to be satisfied, and ALL if you want all conditions to be satisfied.

### Default condition <a href="#default-condition" id="default-condition"></a>

If none of the conditions are satisfied, the chat flow will automatically proceed toward the 'Default condition' branch on the bot builder canvas.

This default branch cannot be deleted.
