Decide by token label text

I'm trying to figure out how to use a Decide to choose the connector based on the text string on a token label. The help screens say that it's possible, but it doesn't tell you how to do it. I have 6 connectors out, so I can't use a conditional decide. Help!

There are a couple of different ways you can do this, but the easiest most direct way is to double click your connectors and give them names that exactly match the different possible text values of your label. Then in the Send token to field choose the Token Label > Your label name. This will match the tokens with connectors whose labels match the connector's names.

Here's a simple example:

decide text.fsm

In my model that method results in this:

Error: Invalid destination at activity "Decide" in process flow "ProcessFlow"

Can you upload your model?

You have "activity by case" in your Send Token To field, which won't work. And your token.Processor label data isn't text, it's a pointer to an object so you would need to set your Decide like this:
