# IF
The IF node is used to split a workflow conditionally based on comparison operations.
## Node Reference
You can choose to split a workflow when any of the specified conditions are met, or only when all the specified conditions are met using the options in the ***Combine*** dropdown list.
You can also add comparison conditions using the ***Add Condition*** dropdown. Conditions can be created based on the data type, the available comparison operations vary for each data type.
- Boolean
- Equal
- Not Equal
- Number
- Smaller
- Smaller Equal
- Equal
- Not Equal
- Larger
- Larger Equal
- String
- Contains
- Equal
- Not Contains
- Not Equal
- Regex
## Example Usage
This workflow executes two different Set nodes based on the output given by the Function node. You can also find the [workflow](https://n8n.io/workflows/581) on the website. This example usage workflow would use the following four nodes.
- [Start](../../core-nodes/Start/README.md)
- [Function](../../core-nodes/Function/README.md)
- [IF]()
- [Set](../../core-nodes/Set/README.md)
The final workflow should look like the following image.

### 2. Function node
1. Enter the following in the ***Function*** field.
```
return [
{
json: {
id: 0,
}
},
{
json: {

}
}
];
```
2. Click on ***Execute Node*** to run the workflow.

3. Enter `name` in the ***Name*** field.
4. Enter `nodemation` in the ***Value*** field.
5. Click on ***Execute Node*** to run the workflow.
