Workflow Actions, Conditions, and Wait Steps
This page lists every action, condition, and timing step you can use inside a workflow, including all configuration fields, operators, and defaults.
For a general introduction to workflows see Workflows.
Actions
Actions perform an operation when the workflow reaches them. Nine action types are available, grouped into three categories: Communication, Event, and Tags.
Send Email
Send an email to one or more recipients using an email template configured in your workspace.
| Field | Required | Values | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Email template | Yes | Select an email template | -- | Selects the template used for the email body and subject. |
| Recipient | Yes | Event contact, Assignee, All team members, Custom email, From field | -- | Determines who receives the email. |
| Custom email | Only when Recipient = Custom email | Valid email address | -- | The email address the message is sent to. |
| Field path | Only when Recipient = From field | Field reference (e.g. contact email) | -- | Reads the recipient address from an event field. |
Send Notification
Send an in-app notification to team members. The notification appears in the bell icon at the top of the application.
| Field | Required | Values | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Field | Required | Values | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Webhook integration | Yes | Select a webhook integration | -- | Selects which configured webhook endpoint receives the payload. |
Update Event Status -- event-only
Change the status of the event that triggered the workflow.
| Field | Required | Values | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Target status | Yes | Any status defined in your workspace | -- | The new status to set on the event. |
Update Event Field -- event-only
Set or overwrite a specific field value on the event.
| Field | Required | Values | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Field path | Yes | Event field | -- | The field to update, selected from the event field picker. |
| Value | Yes | Free text | -- | The new value to write into the field. |
Assign Event -- event-only
Assign the event to a specific team member.
| Field | Required | Values | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assignee | Yes | Select a team member | -- | The user who becomes the event assignee. |
Add Tag -- event-only
Add one or more tags to the event.
| Field | Required | Values | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tags | Yes | One or more tags | [] | Tags to add. If a tag already exists on the event it is not duplicated. |
Remove Tag -- event-only
Remove one or more tags from the event.
| Field | Required | Values | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tags | Yes | One or more tags | [] | Tags to remove. Tags that are not present on the event are silently ignored. |
Create Detail Form -- event-only
Create a detail form instance for the event and optionally send the form link to the customer via email. Use this action together with tag-based conditions to automatically send the right detail form for each event type.
| Field | Required | Values | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detail form | Yes | Select a detail form | -- | The detail form template to use. Only active detail forms are shown. |
| Single Submission | No | On / Off | Off | When enabled, the form can only be filled out once. Subsequent editing is not possible. |
| Access method | Yes | Public, Magic Link, Password | Public | How the customer accesses the form. The available methods depend on the Single Submission setting -- Public is only available when Single Submission is enabled. Magic Link sends a time-limited email link (the recipient is automatically the only allowed user). Password generates a one-time password sent via email. |
| Update event data on submission | No | On / Off | Off | When enabled, form submission data is applied back to the event (e.g. repricing positions). |
| Magic link validity (hours) | Only when Access method = Magic Link | 1--168 | 24 | How long the magic link remains valid. |

| Send email with form link | No | On / Off | Off | Whether to send a notification email containing the form link. |
| Email template | Only when Send email is on | Select an email template | -- | The email template used for the notification. Use the placeholders {form.form_link}, {form.title}, and {form.password_link} (password access only) in the template. |
Actions marked event-only are available only when the workflow subject is an Event. If the trigger produces a Form Response subject (for example a form submission on a contact form), these actions are not shown in the step picker.
Conditions
Conditions evaluate a check and branch the flow into an If met path and an If not met path. Ten single-purpose condition types plus one composite type are available.
Event Status -- event-only
Check whether the event currently has one of the specified statuses.
| Field | Required | Values | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Statuses | Yes | Select statuses (multi-select) | [] | The condition is true if the event status matches any of the listed statuses. |
Event Field (Field Value) -- event-only
Check any event field against a value. The available operators change depending on the detected field type (text, number, or date). For custom fields that cannot be auto-detected, you can manually select the field type.
| Field | Required | Values | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Field path | Yes | Event field | -- | The event field to evaluate. |
| Operator | Yes | See operator tables below | -- | The comparison to perform. |
| Value | No (hidden for Field exists operator) | Text, number, or date depending on field type | -- | The reference value to compare against. |
When you pick a custom field that Eventyflow cannot auto-detect, an additional Field type selector appears with the values Text, Number, and Date. This determines which operator set is offered.
Selecting an operator determines how the condition is evaluated:
Text operators
| Operator | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Equals | Field value is exactly equal to the comparison value. |
| Not equals | Field value is not equal to the comparison value. |
| Contains | Field value contains the comparison value as a substring. |
| Is empty | Field value is empty or null. No comparison value required. |
| Is not empty | Field value is present and non-empty. No comparison value required. |
| Field exists | The field exists in the event data (regardless of value). |
Number operators
| Operator | Meaning |
|---|---|
> Greater than | Field value is greater than the comparison value. |
>= Greater or equal | Field value is greater than or equal to the comparison value. |
< Less than | Field value is less than the comparison value. |
<= Less or equal | Field value is less than or equal to the comparison value. |
= Equals | Field value equals the comparison value. |
!= Not equal | Field value does not equal the comparison value. |
| Field exists | The field exists in the event data. |
Date operators
| Operator | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Before | Field date is before the comparison date. |
| After | Field date is after the comparison date. |
| On or before | Field date is on or before the comparison date. |
| On or after | Field date is on or after the comparison date. |
| Equals | Field date is exactly the comparison date. |
| Field exists | The field exists in the event data. |
Assignee Is -- event-only
Check who the event is currently assigned to.
| Field | Required | Values | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Check mode | Yes | Specific users, Any assigned, Unassigned | Specific users | Determines the type of check. |
| Users | Only when Check mode = Specific users | Select team members (multi-select) | (empty) | The condition is true if the event assignee matches any of the listed users. |
Check mode values:
| Mode | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Specific users | True if the event is assigned to one of the selected users. |
| Any assigned | True if the event is assigned to anyone at all. |
| Unassigned | True if the event has no assignee. |
Has Tag -- event-only
Check whether the event carries specific tags.
| Field | Required | Values | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tags | Yes | One or more tags | [] | The tags to look for on the event. |
| Field matching | No | At least one, All must match | At least one | At least one = condition is true if at least one tag is present; All must match = condition is true only if every listed tag is present. |
Form Completion -- event-only
Check whether a specific form type has been completed for the event.
| Field | Required | Values | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Form type | Yes | Select a form type (e.g. Event, Contact) | -- | The form type to check for completion. |
Form Completion Ratio -- event-only
Check the percentage of form completion against a threshold.
| Field | Required | Values | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Form type | Yes | Select a form type | -- | The form type to evaluate. |
| Operator | Yes | >= Greater or equal, > Greater than, <= Less or equal, < Less than, = Equals | -- | The comparison operator. |
| Threshold (%) | Yes | Integer 0--100 | 0 | The percentage value to compare against. |
Response Exists -- event-only
Check whether a form response exists for a specific form instance.
| Field | Required | Values | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Response Count -- event-only
Check the number of form responses against a threshold.
| Field | Required | Values | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operator | Yes | >= Greater or equal, > Greater than, <= Less or equal, < Less than, = Equals, != Not equal | -- | The comparison operator. |
| Value | Yes | Integer >= 0 | 0 | The number to compare against. |
| Form type | Yes | Select a form type | -- | The form type whose responses are counted. |
Time Window -- event-only
Check whether the current time falls within a certain number of days from a reference date on the event.
| Field | Required | Values | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Within days | Yes | Integer >= 1 | 1 | The number of days that define the window. |
| Reference | Yes | Start date, End date, Created at | -- | The event date field used as the anchor for the window. |
Composite (AND/OR)
Combine multiple conditions using boolean logic. This is the only condition type that is not event-only -- it is available for all workflow subjects.
| Field | Required | Values | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Logic | Yes | All conditions must be true (AND), At least one condition must be true (OR) | All conditions must be true (AND) | All conditions must be true (AND) = all sub-conditions must be true; At least one condition must be true (OR) = at least one sub-condition must be true. |
| Sub-conditions | Yes | List of conditions | (empty) | Each sub-condition is one of the single-purpose condition types listed above, configured with its own fields. |
Rules:
- You can add up to 10 sub-conditions per composite.
- Each sub-condition is configured with the same fields as its standalone equivalent.
- Sub-conditions cannot themselves be composite (no nesting of composites inside composites).
- When only one sub-condition remains and you remove the other, the composite is automatically unwrapped back to a single condition.
Conditions marked event-only are available only when the workflow subject is an Event. The composite condition itself is always available, but the sub-conditions you can add inside it are filtered based on the workflow subject.
Wait Steps
Wait steps pause workflow execution for a defined period or until a specific point in time. Two types are available.
Wait
Pause the workflow for a fixed duration.
| Field | Required | Values | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Duration | Yes | Positive integer | 1 | The number of time units to wait. |
| Unit | Yes | Minutes, Hours, Days, Weeks | Hours | The time unit applied to Duration. |
Example: Duration = 2 + Unit = Days pauses for two days before the next step executes.
Wait Until
Pause the workflow until a specific date and time is reached.
| Field | Required | Values | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wait Until | Yes | Date and time | -- | The exact date and time at which execution resumes. If the date is in the past at the time the step is reached, execution continues immediately. |
