Best Way to Handle Conditional Logic in Backend API Workflows Without Too Many Steps?

Need help APIs

Hey Bubble community :waving_hand:

I’m working on a fairly complex backend workflow and running into a bit of logic overload. I’m using Bubble’s backend workflows to process form submissions that can have several optional fields and actions, depending on user inputs.

The issue is: I find myself creating multiple “Only when…” conditions across many steps, which makes the workflow hard to read and maintain.

Is there a cleaner pattern for this? Maybe using custom events, recursive workflows, or reusable logic blocks?

Also open to plugin suggestions if there’s a smarter way to manage conditional logic in bulk.

Would love to hear how others structure their backend workflows when logic starts to get heavy.

Thanks in advance!

There’s not enough details to answer.
Share what you have actually, what you got for the form submission, Do you use DB and option set… There’s probably some option to reduce only when, but maybe not :wink:

As @Jici said, we need more information to help you understand the logic behind the confusion, so please share more details.
