Never condition

Use the never condition to set the condition to false. This means the watch actions are never executed when the watch is triggered. The watch input is executed, a record is added to the watch history, and the watch execution ends. This condition is generally used for testing.

Using the never condition

There are no attributes to specify for the never condition. To use the it, you specify the condition type and associate it with an empty object:

"condition" : {
  "never" : {}
}
