Testing Conditional Logic

Let's test your conditional workflow with different types of content to see how it routes to different processing paths.

Registering the New Workflow

Update your Mastra configuration to include your new workflow workflows:

// In src/mastra/index.ts
import {
  contentWorkflow,
  aiContentWorkflow,
  parallelAnalysisWorkflow,
  conditionalWorkflow,
} from "./workflows/content-workflow";

export const mastra = new Mastra({
  workflows: {
    contentWorkflow,
    aiContentWorkflow,
    parallelAnalysisWorkflow,
    conditionalWorkflow, // Add the conditional workflow
  },
  // ... rest of configuration
});

Testing the conditional workflow

You can now test this new conditional workflow in the playground. Be sure to test different content lengths and content types.

Understanding the Flow

1. Assessment step analyzes content and determines category/complexity
2. Branch conditions are evaluated against the assessment results
3. Matching step executes based on which condition(s) are true
4. Results show which processing path was taken

Debugging Conditions

If a condition isn't working as expected:

• Check the assessment step output
• Verify condition logic matches your expectations
• Test individual conditions in isolation
• Add console.log statements to track condition evaluation

Branch Benefits

Conditional workflows provide:

• Intelligent routing: Right processing for right content
• Performance optimization: Skip heavy processing for simple content
• Customized experience: Different handling for different scenarios
• Scalable logic: Easy to add new conditions and processing paths
