Clarifying AI Prompt Instructions: Only Run If XYZ Explained

·Nov 07, 2025 08:00 PM·

Does explicity stating "only run if xyz" in a prompt negate the need to also do the "Only run" AI feature?

No, explicitly stating "only run if xyz" in a prompt does not negate the need for the "Only run if" feature in Run Settings. These serve different purposes:
The "Only run if" feature in Run Settings creates conditional formulasrce-link" data-entity-id="9946973" data-entity-type="120">conditional formulas that control when the entire enrichment executes based on data conditions.
The "Required to Run" toggle in the Prompt Editor ensures AI enrichments only run when specific fields contain data, helping avoid errors from empty rows.
Both work together - the Run Settings condition determines if the enrichment should execute, while the Required fields ensure necessary data exists before running.
