Automations' Advanced Logic building blocks — Conditional Logic (new this release) and Repeating Actions (Looping) — can now be nested inside each other, up to two levels deep. That unlocks multi-level workflows: a branch inside a branch, a loop inside a branch, a branch inside a loop, and a loop inside a loop.
‍

Key highlights

  • Four Nesting Combinations: A Conditional Logic branch inside another Conditional Logic branch, a Repeating Action loop inside a Conditional Logic branch, a Conditional Logic branch inside a Repeating Action loop, and a Repeating Action loop inside another Repeating Action loop.
  • Two Levels of Nesting: Advanced Logic actions are available at the top level and at one nested level.
  • All Other Action Types Unaffected: Updates, notifications, integrations, record creation, and every other automation action type remain available at every level of nesting.
  • Same Editor Experience: The condition builder inside a nested branch works the same way as at the top level.
  • Full Traceability: Run History expands each nested step so teams can trace which branch ran and which items in a loop went where.
    ‍

How it works

  • Open an automation and add a Conditional Logic action or a Repeating Action.
  • Inside a branch or a loop, add another Advanced Logic action to create a second level of nesting.
  • Inside that second-level action, add non-Advanced-Logic actions. Further Advanced Logic nesting is not offered at this level.
  • Save the automation and open Run History to trace how each execution resolved through the nested levels.

Ships alongside this release's Conditional Logic launch. Available on all plans.
