How to use Expression (advanced) in IF condition in pippelines

Question

Hi,
I am new to quickbase pipelines.&nbsp; I would like my flow to do a if-then-else base on a value in the message body.&nbsp;&nbsp;
In step A, I setup a Webhooks-Incoming Request.&nbsp; And then in Step B, I want to evaluate a data from {{a.body_params.header.Action}} to a value.&nbsp; If true, then do something.&nbsp; That's it.&nbsp; However, seems like no matter what I typed in the box, the evaluation result always set to "True".&nbsp; (i.e. "evaluates to TRUE" become the pre-set constant result).&nbsp; Anything I did wrong?

Besides, I can't pick a data field from the A.Body Parameters.Header UI.&nbsp; It shows "No results found".&nbsp; How to let quickbase to learn a data model and so it can populate data fields?&nbsp;

Here is the return from the the webhook.

Thanks for any suggestions.&nbsp;&nbsp;

It seems like a syntax issue. In my experience it's easier to keep everything in the braces so the pipeline is only evaluating whats in the braces.&nbsp;
{{a.body_params.header.Action}} is "RecordUpdate"&nbsp;
try
{{a.body_params.header.Action === 'RecordUpdate'}}------------------------------Chayce Duncan------------------------------

This method is still not working.&nbsp; it still always gives "false" even the value of a.body_params.header.Action is "InternalNoteChanged".&nbsp; any idea how to make it work?

How about the capitalization in the Jinja expression?&nbsp; Change Action to action.

{{a.body_params.header.action === 'RecordUpdate'}}------------------------------Don Larson------------------------------

Can you post a picture of the webhook response that goes along with your screenshot above?&nbsp;
You technically don't need the if condition at all - the response of a.body_params.header.Action == 'something' will return true / false as the default behavior or a comparator condition such as that.&nbsp;

From your screenshot though, something seems off with how you're doing the actual pipeline expression and then evaluate condition. So in this case it looks like your expression of == "InternalNoteChanged" - return true, is returning properly. But your actual pipeline step says 'Evalute to FALSE' so if in fact the type is InternalNoteChanged - you're still going to skip over because the Pipeline is looking for False------------------------------Chayce Duncan------------------------------
