Add conditions to workflow triggers

Today we’re adding the ability to set workflow trigger conditions on any trigger step. Previously to stop a workflow from executing, you needed to use a branch step at the start of your workflow with no channel steps in the branch. Now using trigger step conditions, you can halt a workflow from executing before any steps run.

This is especially helpful in cases where you have a high volume event stream that you’d like to point at a Knock workflow and then use a trigger condition to select when the workflow should actually run. As an example, you could have an account-balance-updated event connected to a workflow, with a trigger condition to only run the workflow when the account balance goes under five dollars.

You can access trigger step conditions by selecting any trigger step in the workflow builder or using the conditions object in your workflow definition in our management API.
