Build choices into a routine

Prepare different outcomes and choose deliberately in the moment.

Before you begin

A saved routine, two sample outcomes, and a selection method you have rehearsed.

How it works

A branch has a trigger, an input, processing, and an output. Live choices differ from automatic first-match rules.

In Then, choose a path that offers choices in the moment. Give each choice a short recognizable label.

All steps, in writing
  1. Choose branches

    In Then, choose a path that offers choices in the moment. Give each choice a short recognizable label.

    Expected: The choices describe different outcomes.

  2. Choose how it starts

    In the branch editor, configure a phrase, supported head gesture, or wearable-only selection.

    Expected: The branch has a selection method you can demonstrate.

  3. Choose the input

    Use Input and variable to choose routine input, start trigger data, a connected app, or an earlier saved action output.

    Expected: The branch reads the value you intend.

  4. Choose processing

    In The answer, select pass-through, fixed text, a formula, lookup, or configured AI processing as appropriate.

    Expected: The result is predictable with a sample input.

  5. Choose the destination

    In Where it shows, choose the glasses or an explicitly configured supported destination. Rehearse every branch.

    Expected: Each choice has a tested input-to-output path.

If something differs

  • An API receive connection does not prove the same endpoint accepts writes.
  • If wearable selection is enabled, highlighting and confirming a branch are separate actions.
