# Only Continue If **Introduction** This step acts as a conditional gate within an automation, allowing the flow to continue only if specified conditions are met. **Description** Useful for creating decision points in an automation where subsequent steps are executed based on the fulfillment of predefined conditions. It ensures that the automation follows the desired path based on dynamic criteria. **Subpaths** * **Conditions**: Define the condition steps. This subpath performs condition checks the same way as [And](/modules/scripting/steps/conditions/and.md) step. **Usage** Ideal for segmenting automation flows based on specific criteria, such as user responses, data values, or external factors. It can be used to create branches in the automation, ensuring that each path is followed only when relevant conditions are satisfied. This can be achieved in combination with [Paths](/modules/scripting/steps/paths.md). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
