Rules

Conditional rules can be applied to subintegrations and outbound connections. These rules determine whether each message in the integration should continue or not.

Use CxMaL macros in your conditions to create expressive rules.

Condition syntax​

  • true / false: Represents boolean values for true and false respectively.

  • > / < / >= / <=: Comparison operators to evaluate numeric values.

  • == / is / eq: Evaluates to true if left and right sides are equal.

  • != / is not: Evaluates to true if left and right sides are not equal.

  • && / and: Logical AND operator; evaluates to true if both left and right sides are true.

  • || / or: Logical OR operator; evaluates to true if either left or right side is true.

  • (): Parentheses can be used to create more complex conditions by altering the order of operations.

Example: strings​

Strings must be enclosed in single or double quotation marks.

'{filename}' == 'myFile'

or

"{filename}" == "myFile"

Example: Check file content​

Use the CxMaL File Macro to create conditions based on whats in the file content of the message.

'{file:username}' == 'admin'

Example: Using Parentheses​

In this example, we use parentheses to ensure that the conditions (true == true) and (5 != 10.5) are evaluated separately and then combined using the logical AND operator &&. This allows for more precise control over the evaluation order and logic of the condition.

(true == true) && (5 != 10.5)

Example: Check if array contains a value​

Use the CxMaL File Macro in conjunction with the CxMaL Array Pipe to check if an array contains a value.

{file:myArray | array: contains('John')} == true
  • {file:myArray} Retrieves the array myArray from the file
  • | array:contains('John') checks if the array contains the value 'John'.
  • The condition evaluates to true if 'John' is present in the array.
