How to make an if in the dataflow ?

I have a dataflow where i import 2 files. The one is the file containing a couple of million records. The other file contains rows with summed values on a specific key.

The file with the millions of records is aggregated on the key, sorted, so that the 2 collums from the files can be compared. I then do a mergejoin on the key and now i have temptable with the (key,sum1,sum2). Now there must not be a difference between sum1 and sum2.
I can make a conditional split where i say ([sum1] - [sum2]) > 0.1 so that i get an output with rows where the diffence is more than 0.1.

My question is now, how do i make an action on that. If that task put out a row or more then do something (send mail task, stop further processing)

    Thanks but can you point that out in detail

    Just add a "RecordCount" transform to your pipeline. So you count "Error Records". In the Control Flow you can change the "Link" between the task and change the "constraint options" to "Expression". There you can check if the value of the variable you used for the RecordCount is greater then 0. If so you can link to a send mail task or whatever you want...
