When to Use / Why It Matters
Use All Conditions (AND logic) when you need every requirement to be true. Use Any Conditions (OR logic) when the rule should run if at least one requirement is true. Picking the wrong option can cause missed triggers or actions that run too often.

All Conditions — AND logic
All conditions must be satisfied for the rule to execute. If any single condition is false, the rule will not run.
Logical form: Condition A AND Condition B AND Condition C
Use when you need strict filtering (every checkbox must be checked).
Common for approvals, targeted notifications, or high-confidence automation.
Example: Send an alert only if Status = Active, Priority = High, and Assigned = John Doe. The alert fires only when all three are true simultaneously.
Any Conditions — OR logic
At least one condition must be true for the rule to execute. The rule fires as soon as any single condition is met.
Logical form: Condition A OR Condition B OR Condition C
Use for broad triggers where multiple different situations should cause the same action.
Common for alerts that must trigger on several possible events.
Example: Send an alert if Status = Active OR Priority = High OR Assigned = John Doe. Any one of those makes the alert trigger.
Mixing Groups (Nested Logic)
Many systems allow nesting, e.g., (All of Group A) AND (Any of Group B). That enables precise conditions but is also a common source of mistakes—double-check grouping and parentheses.
