How to Create Conditional Rules in Approval Flows

Creating conditional rules in approval flows means different cases follow different paths automatically — a purchase for marketing routes differently than one for IT, based on rules you define once. In Jestor, this uses conditional logic already available across forms, cards, and Kanban views.

Not every approval should follow the exact same path. Conditional rules are what let one process handle genuine variety without turning into a dozen separate processes.

What forces unnecessary complexity without conditionals

Building a separate process for every slight variation in approval logic
Manual judgment calls about which path a request should follow
Rules that exist informally and get applied inconsistently
No way to combine multiple variables (department, value, category) into one rule

How conditional approval logic works

Conditions can be based on category, department, value, or any connected field
A single process can branch into different approval paths based on those conditions
Card appearance (color, visible fields) can also change conditionally, making the branch visible at a glance
Conditions can combine — department and value together, for example

Why Jestor fits this use case

Conditional logic is native to forms, cards, and Kanban, not a separate add-on
One process can handle real variety without splitting into many disconnected processes
Rules apply consistently, since they're enforced by the system, not by memory
Visual cues (like card color) make the applied condition obvious to anyone looking at the board

Condition	Example use
Department	Different approver per department
Value	Different approval level per threshold
