# Project Exists Condition

The **Project Exists Condition** node checks whether a project with a specific name exists in a defined group and category.

This node can be used to validate whether a project is already available before continuing a workflow. For example, it can prevent duplicate project creation or route the workflow differently depending on whether the project exists.
