Decrease complexity and increase customizability in your playbook by using IF and ELSE conditional statements with the Turbine Condition native action.

## Scenario

Aaliyah is an Orchestrator who wants her playbook to execute if the HTTP request comes back with a specific status code. To accomplish this, Aaliyah needs to use the Condition native action to build IF and ELSE conditional statements.

Let's take a look!

As an orchestrator, Aaliyah already knows how to create and configure her playbook and add an action. So she's ready to jump right in!

1. First, select the **HTTP Request** native action and choose an **On Success** action flow.
   Now that Aaliyah has her first action, she's ready for the native action.
2. In the playbook, click **Add an action**.
3. In the ACTION drop-down menu, select the native action **Condition**.
4. Click **Edit Condition**.

Aaliyah needs to set up a conditional logic. She adds her first condition by opening the condition configuration builder.

1. Select **Status Code** value.
2. In the drop-down menu, select **IS EQUAL TO**.
3. Enter **100**.

This status code allows information to continue processing. If the status code is not equal to 100, the criteria is not met, which means that the conditional statement is FALSE.

## Conclusion

Aaliyah has the beginning of her playbook set up to ensure that if the http request processes successfully she can continue building out the playbook's actions.
