How to conditionally run an action based on a script result

the Email Parser left panel running a condition with a script

In this example, we receive an email like the following:

From: test@example.com
To: example@example.com
Subject: Weather report

Temperature: 22.1
Temperature: 12.3
Temperature: -1.7
Temperature: 5.8

And after parsing the temperature values with a regular expression we run a script (once for each value) where we check if the temperature is above or below zero. Depending on the result of the script we export the captured text to one Google spreadsheet or another

The script we use creates a new field called “is_above_zero” that we will use later in the conditional action.

using System;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.Net.Mail;
using System.Net.NetworkInformation;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
using EmailParserBackendApi.ScriptingInterface;
 
public class MyAction : ScriptBasedAction
{
	public override bool Run(MailMessage email, NameValueCollection fields)
	{		
        // Check if the database server is online
        if (float.Parse(fields[&quot;Temperature&quot;])&gt;0)
            fields.Add("is_above_zero", "yes");
        else
            fields.Add("is_above_zero", "no");
 
        return (true);
	}
}

In Email Parser, this script is placed under an action of type “Run a C# script”

Then we evaluate the result of the script in the next action:

if a given text in an email meets a condition

And export to the corresponding spreadhseet the temperature value:

When an email is received Email Parser runs all the items and produces the following output:
