# Field Checks

A Field Value Check is the most common type of condition. It looks at a specific field on a record and compares it against a value you set. Based on whether the comparison is true or false, the workflow takes a different path.

For example, you can check if an invoice total is greater than $1,000, if a lead's source is "Website", or if a project status changed to "Completed".

## Steps

1. **Drag a "Field Value" condition onto the canvas** — Find it in the conditions section of the left sidebar.
2. **Click the block to configure it.**
3. **Choose the field to check** — Enter the field name you want to evaluate (e.g., `grand_total`, `status`, `lead_source`).
4. **Choose the comparison** — Pick how to compare:
   * **Equals (=)** — The field matches the value exactly.
   * **Not Equals (!=)** — The field does not match.
   * **Greater Than (>)** — The field is above the value (for numbers).
   * **Less Than (<)** — The field is below the value.
   * **Greater Than or Equal (>=)** — The field is at or above the value.
   * **Less Than or Equal (<=)** — The field is at or below the value.
   * **Contains (like)** — The field contains the text somewhere in it.
   * **Is Set / Is Not Set** — Whether the field has any value or is blank.
   * **Changed To** — The field just changed to a specific value (useful with "On Update" triggers).
5. **Enter the value** — Type the value to compare against (e.g., `1000`, `Website`, `Completed`).
6. **Add more checks (optional)** — You can add multiple conditions and combine them with AND (all must be true) or OR (any one can be true).
7. **Connect the two outputs** — Draw a line from the "Yes" output to the actions that should run when the condition is true, and from the "No" output to different actions or leave it unconnected.

## Common examples

* **High-value order alert** — Check if `grand_total > 5000`. If yes, notify the owner. If no, continue normally.
* **Lead source routing** — Check if `source = Website`. If yes, assign to the online sales team. If no, assign to the field sales team.
* **Status change detection** — Check if `status changed to Completed`. If yes, send a review request to the customer.
* **Overdue check** — Check if `due_date < today`. If yes, send a reminder email.
