# Logic Components

> Logic components bring reasoning and control flow to workflows. They let you branch paths, update variables, and introduce delays to handle real-world timing and decision-making.

### Conditions

The **Conditions block** works like **if–else statements** in programming.

* Diverts workflow paths based on rules (e.g., `if status = open → continue`, `else → close`).
* Common use cases:
  * Route a ticket based on **priority level**
  * Send premium users to a **VIP workflow**
  * Trigger escalation if **CSAT \< 3**

***

### Set Variables

The **Set Variables block** updates or assigns values to global or workflow-specific variables.

* Often paired with **Conditions** for dynamic updates.
* Examples:
  * Set `escalation_required = true` if SLA is breached
  * Update `retry_count` after an API failure
  * Change `status = resolved` when conditions are met

***

### Delay

The **Delay block** pauses the workflow for a set time before continuing.

* Useful when external systems need time to update or respond.
* Examples:
  * Wait **5 seconds** after an API call before fetching results
  * Add a **2-hour delay** before sending a follow-up reminder
  * Space out retries when contacting a third-party system

<Tip>
  Use **short delays** for API syncs and **longer delays** for reminders, follow-ups, or staged notifications.
