# Else Step

The Else Step tells your automation what to do when a condition in an [If Step](https://docs.robotiq.ai/en/article/if-step) isn't true. It helps you build conditional logic into your automated tasks.

## How to Use the Else Step

Put an Else Step inside an If Step to handle cases where the first condition isn't met.

### Step 1: Add an If Step

1.  Drag an **If Step** into your process flow.
2.  Set up the condition for the **If Step**.

### Step 2: Add an Else Step

1.  Inside the **If Step**, find the "Else" section.
2.  Drag an **Else Step** into this section.
3.  Add other steps inside the **Else Step** to tell the robot what to do when the If Step's condition is false.

**Example:** Let's say you have an If Step that checks if a customer's order is over $100.

-   If it is, the robot applies a discount (these steps go in the "True" part of the If Step).
-   If it's not, the robot sends a regular confirmation email (these steps go in the Else Step).

## Parameters Explained

**Step name** (Optional)

-   This is a name you give the Else Step in your process.
-   It helps you find the step easily in the Process Editor.
-   **Example:** "Send Standard Email"
