# Only continue if

> Stop a Workflow if specified conditions are not met — use it to filter, gate, or conditionally halt execution.

Stop a [Workflow](/workflows/overview) from continuing if one or more conditions are not met. Use this to gate execution — for example, only proceed if a support ticket is marked as high priority, or if a sentiment analysis returned "Negative."

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the action">
    In the Workflow builder, click **+** between blocks and select **Only Continue If** from the action library.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a condition">
    Click **Add Condition** and configure:

    1. **Field** — The variable to evaluate (from a previous step or the trigger)
    2. **Operator** — The comparison type (Equals, Contains, etc.)
    3. **Value** — The value to compare against

    </Frame>

    For example: If `#Analyze Sentiment of Ticket` contains `Negative`, continue.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add more conditions (optional)">
    Click **Add Condition** to add additional conditions. **All** conditions must be met for the Workflow to continue. If any condition fails, the Workflow stops.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>Need different branches instead of just stop/continue? Use [Paths](/reference/actions/paths) to route your Workflow down different paths based on conditions.</Tip>
