## Description

**What it does**: The Branch node allows you to create decision points in your workflow, making it adaptable and efficient. It's like saying, "If this condition is true, do this; otherwise, do that.

**When to use it?** Imagine you are processing customer orders. You can use a Branch node to check if the order total exceeds a certain amount. If it does, you might send the order for manager approval; if not, you can automatically process the order.
