#### Video transcript

Conditional split will allow you to essentially set a condition to send people down to different paths. So very similar to how you set the condition in the wait and personalize, we'll open up split conditions, you can still label it, we'll leave it blank for now. But if I wanted to say, again, you know, like email address contains at contentstack.com, I will save that rule, and then save this rule. I guess one thing to note, you can add additional rules if you so choose, so you can link rules together, you can have ands and ors, and there's lots of flexibility there. In this case, though, we'll just say, anytime that a user has an email address that contains contentstack.com, we'll send them down one track, and anybody else, we'll send down another track. I save that, it's going to show the shorthand rule again, and then you have this yes edge and this no edge to say if I meet the condition, I'm going to go left, if I don't meet the condition, I'm going to go right.

#### Key takeaways

- Connect **Flow Anatomy - Conditional Split Step** back to your stack configuration before moving to the next module.
- Capture one concrete artifact (screenshot, Postman call, or code snippet) that proves the step works in your environment.
- Re-read the delivery versus management boundary for anything you changed in the entry model.
