If I have a conditional check in my flow thats something like

with case(cond, True):
    val1_if_true = action1_if_true()
    val2_if_true = action2_if_true()


with case(cond, False):
    val_if_false = action_if_false()

What (if anything) do I pass to the merge function?

merge is used to execute downstream tasks based on some chosen path e.g.

from random import random
from prefect import task, Flow, case
from prefect.tasks.control_flow import merge

...


with Flow("conditional-branches-with-merge") as flow:
    cond = check_condition()

    with case(cond, True):
        val1 = action_if_true()

    with case(cond, False):
        val2 = action_if_false()

    val = merge(val1, val2)

    another_action(val)

Ahh. Ok so in that case I guess I don’t need the merge. The actual tasks are something like 1. Case 1: Write to 2 places 2. Case 2 Write a 3rd place Not really using the results anywhere.

great to hear 👍
