Switch

yaml

type: "io.kestra.plugin.core.flow.Switch"

Run tasks conditionally, i.e. decide which branch of tasks should be executed based on a given value.

This task runs a set of tasks based on a given value. The value is evaluated at runtime and compared to the list of cases. If the value matches a case, the corresponding tasks are executed. If the value does not match any case, the default tasks are executed.
