Check if previous IF Node returned True or False Branch

[sg_tech]

Describe the problem/error/question

I have a setup where a IF Node checks for a condition and then BOTH True & False need to go into the next MySQL Node. This node needs to set a specific value based on if the data is coming from the True Branch or the False Branch. How can I check which Branch of the previous IF Node sent the data?

What is the error message (if any)?

None

Please share your workflow

@sg_tech , using IF node in this capacity yields no benefit. You can remove it completely. The condition you use in IF node could be utilized in MySQL node instead. Something like this,

{{ $json.isShipADestroyer ? 'INSERT A' : 'INSERT B'  }}

That is if $json.isShipADestroyer evaluates to true ‘INSERT A’ will be executed, otherwise ‘INSERT B’.

I ended up using this workaround. I will mark you answer as the right one…
