Ever clicked a button and something weird happened?  
That’s usually a missing condition.

Before you run any action:  
✅ Add a condition to make sure it _should_ run  
✅ Use “is not empty” to avoid firing on blank data  
✅ Personalize with user-roles like **“Editor” vs “Viewer”**  
✅ Use user-specific values for tailored logic

Why bother?  
🧠 Keeps your app smart and relevant  
🛡 Avoids messy edge cases  
🧩 Makes complex logic easier to manage

**Not everything should run all the time — control the flow.**
