The Three Logic Tools

1. Filters (Make) / IF Nodes (n8n)

A filter is a gate. It checks if a condition is true. If yes, the workflow continues. If no, the workflow stops at that gate.

Example: In the Morning Brief, you add a filter: "Only send the email if the temperature is below 60°F." On warm mornings, the email never sends. On cold mornings, it sends.

Configuration: - Condition: "temperature < 60" - Action if true: Continue (send the email) - Action if false: Stop (skip the email)

In Make: Called "Filter". You set one or more conditions. If all are true, the next step runs. If any are false, execution stops.

In n8n: Called "IF". You set a condition, and the node branches: true path or false path. You can continue the workflow on the true path, or you can have a "false" path that does something else (or nothing).
