{% hint style="info" %}
There is a maximum of 10 conditions  the  statement.
{% endhint %}

### Using variables

It is possible to use [Chat variables](/docs/developer-documentation/chat-variables.md) in the branch condition without the curly bracket delimiter.

If you use a variable from a Survey block please use:

* **variable.text** - to represent the string value
* **variable.norm.value** - to represent an integer or float value (only if the Type is set as Number)

If you use a variable from a Modify Variable bot action, just directly define the variable in the condition field.
