# Switch

**Introduction**

The "Switch" step allows you to execute different actions based on the value of a specified variable. This step is useful for creating decision-based workflows where different paths are taken depending on specific conditions.

**Configuration**

* **Value**: The variable whose value will be used to determine which path to follow. This value must be of a type that supports comparison (e.g., text, number).
* **Options**: A list of options that define the possible values of the variable and the corresponding paths. Each option includes:
  * **Name**: A descriptive name for the option, used to identify the path.
  * **Value**: The specific value that, when matched, will trigger the associated path.

**Subpaths**

* **Named Paths**: Each option generates a subpath where you can define the actions to be executed if the variable's value matches that option.
* **Default**: A subpath named "Default" is provided to define actions to be executed if none of the specified options match the variable's value.

This setup allows for flexible and dynamic workflows based on different conditions.
