# Router Node Parameters

The **Router** node (action_router) performs conditional branching by rules. Depending on context (channel, ticket status, tags, priority, etc.) execution goes to one of the branches. In **Node Inspector** (right panel) the following sections are available:

## Mode

- **first_match** — the first branch whose conditions are met is executed.
- **all_matches** — all branches whose conditions are met are executed (parallel execution).

## Rules

- **branch_id** — branch identifier that connects to the edge (arrow) on the canvas. Each rule leads to a separate branch.
- **conditions** — array of conditions (field, operator, value, nextLogic, groupStart, groupEnd).
- **logic** — logic between conditions (AND, OR).

## Default Branch (default_branch)

- **Else** — branch executed when no rules match.
- On the canvas it connects to the "Else" edge or similar.

**Tip:** branch_id — connects to button/edge; default_branch — when no rules match.

## Rule Structure

Each rule contains:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| branch_id | Branch ID the edge leads to |
| conditions | Array of conditions |
| field | Context field to check |
| operator | Comparison operator |
| value | Value to compare |
| nextLogic | AND or OR — logic to next condition |
| groupStart | Start of condition group (for parentheses) |
| groupEnd | End of condition group |

## Available Context Fields (field)

**Field** in the Node Inspector is a **closed list**. You do **not** enter arbitrary scenario variables (`user_choice`, etc.) here. To branch on a scenario constant, see Action **`switch`** in [Built-in actions](/en/scenariobuilder/reference/standard-built-in-actions.md).

- **channel** — channel (telegram, viber, whatsapp, widget, facebook, etc.).
- **request_type** — request type.
- **status_name** — ticket status name.
- **priority** — ticket priority.
- **subject** — request subject.
- **request_tag** — request tag.
- **client_tag** — client tag.

## Operators

- **equals** — equals.
- **not_equals** — not equals.
- **in_list** — value is in list.
- **empty** — field is empty.
- **not_empty** — field is not empty.

## Logic (nextLogic)

- **AND** — all conditions in the group must be met.
- **OR** — at least one condition must be met.
