### Answer Logic Split Nodes can fail when variables aren't fully initialized at the time the node evaluates. If your split is positioned early in the conversation flow, the dynamic variables may not be "hydrated" (loaded into memory) yet, causing the node to take the wrong path. [(1) ]() Common issues and solutions: 1. **Variable timing**: Add a brief conversation node before the Logic Split Node to allow variables to fully initialize. 2. **Syntax in conditions**: When comparing variables, use the format

variable_name = value

without quotes in the condition editor (quotes are auto-populated) . 3. **Add a hydration guard**: Use a condition like

variable_name exists

or

variable_name != ""

to ensure the variable is loaded before comparing its value. 4. **Alternative approach**: If conditional logic continues to fail, use prompt-based logic instead—add instructions in your agent prompt to check the variable and let the LLM make the decision. The Logic Split Node evaluates conditions immediately when entered and branches to the corresponding destination. It doesn't speak and processes quickly. [(2) ]() Make sure your else destination is properly configured as a fallback when no conditions are met.
