Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I want to add metadata or tags to a document.
But the matching would be improved it the automate was only applied to documents with a specific tag or another criteria.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add conditions like "only for documents with these tags:" or "only for this file type:".

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context
A possible use case would be to automatically add the amount of a receipt as a metadata.

Receipts get tagged like shown in the Video Demo. (e.g. Lidl)
Use a regex automate like suggested here to get the amount and save it as meta data.

I think getting the amount via RegEx would result in many false positives it it was applied to all documents.
But If you can define a specific RegEx just for Lidl receipts and another for Aldi receipts it might work.

Great would be also a condition like "at least x times".
Sometimes you have like 5-6 keywords but not always every keyword might be detected or present.
4 out of 6 Keywords might still be able to identify the document
