I have a workflow that checks a CRM to see if there are any exisiting deals for a company. **Step 1** The response will either have items or it won’t. I check for items in the response column to determine if there is an existing deal and add a value to a column. **Step 2** If there is an existing deal, I need to determine the status of the most recent deal and if it was won or lost (not open) then I need to check the closed time (includes date). This is so we can filter out companies that have had a deal closed in the last two years to avoid bugging them. Workflow: 1. Trigger step 1 via button 2. Trigger step 2 via a different button Because step 2 is only required based on the results of step 1, ie, there is at least one existing deal for a company, I want to chain these workflows. However, I need to add a condition to my workflow and can’t see an option to do this. My goal is one button to trigger step 1 or step 1 and then step 2. ![Screenshot 2025-01-24 at 14.29.23](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/a/8a68994a5047e6b4f6d1762522bec5c4efefdf4c.png) I want to add a condition between these two calls. How do I achieve this? 🤷‍♂️ ---

> [@blairrorani](#): > > I want to add a condition between these two calls. How do I achieve this You can’t do that with a user initiated action. But what you can do is use that second step to call a webhook triggered action, and then you can do your conditional check in there. Here is a video I made recently that demonstrates. The use case is completely different to yours, but the general idea is the same. https://www.loom.com/embed/93eeeeb72d8c4dcab27544fcac871338 [https://www.loom.com/share/93eeeeb72d8c4dcab27544fcac871338](https://www.loom.com/share/93eeeeb72d8c4dcab27544fcac871338) ---

Thanks mate, how did you get the condition “mid flow”? Is that because the trigger is a webhook? As mentioned for me I only have the option to add a condition at the start of a flow right after the trigger. ---

It’s because it’s a webhook triggered workflow, which allows conditions to be added anywhere in the flow. > **[Webhook Trigger | Glide Docs](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/automation/workflows/webhook)** > > Trigger workflows with an incoming Web request. ---

What’s the best practice for scenarios where a Call API action is triggered from a button in the interface, and I want to change the interface (e.g. show a success versus failure toast) depending on the result of the Call API action? Is this not possible? ---

You could write the API return status into a User Specific column, use that in an if-then-else column to construct a success/failure message, and then use that as the message in a notification after the API Call. ---

I also needed to conditionally write to some columns based on whether there was a success or failure - it looks like the “Wait for condition” action is what I needed, as my understanding is it will only proceed if the condition is met (I’m checking that the status response was “success” before updating the columns). ---

Yeah that should work.
