This constraint allows or prevents a macro/feature from running based on a comparison between two values or variables.

Options

Compare Type - Indicates what type of comparison to perform from boolean, integer, decimal, string, array or dictionary.
Value1 - The first value to compare
Value2 - The second value to compare
Operator - Depends on the type of comparison (for example for string you can check if value1 contains value2, for integers you can compare if value1 is greater than value2)

Example

Example 1: Enable mobile data only when a usage flag is set

Triggers

Actions

Mobile Data On/Off (Enable)
