Question

In a claims topic, after collecting Topic.ClaimAmount (number), you must route amounts over 10,000 to a supervisor escalation branch. Which approach is correct?

Accepted Answer

Add a Condition node using a Power Fx expression such as Topic.ClaimAmount > 10000 and branch to escalation versus standard processing. — Condition nodes are the if/else of topics — Power Fx compares ClaimAmount to 10000 and picks the supervisor path when it's higher. Messages that ask users to self-route are not controls.

Answer

Use only a Message node that tells the user to decide whether they feel the amount is large.

Answer

Store ClaimAmount as an environment variable defaulting to 0 for all users.

Answer

Delete the variable and hard-code every claim as 9999 so conditions are unnecessary.
