I noticed when you create a compound action the first thing you see is a icon of a finger pressing a button then directly below is the result of that button press. I would like these compound actions to have more than just a finger press to initiate the actions. Criteria based triggers. The actions are triggered using simple if then statements.Some examples of this would be:  
-If boolen on this page is true then do this  
-If timestamp equals this  
-If time equals this  
-If user is of this type then do this  
-If today is christmas then do this  
-If these 2 numbers that are in 2 separate spots of the app are the same then do this  
Our apps can become so much more in depth if we have a feature like this, where we could make the app play through videos or after a video finished provide a survey. The possibilities are endless and exciting.
