macOS If, Then automator command

I know you can write an (if, then) command using applescript. Does anyone know if there is a way to tell automator to stop running a workflow if an applescript from within the workflow get's the proper response back from an (if, then) command. I'm having an applescript run some javascript form within automator. I posted both scripts below. If the response from the javascript result is "You do not have any items set to render.", I want the workflow to stop.

Applescript:

Code:

tell application "Adobe After Effects CS3"
	set sScriptPath to "MacintoshHD:Applications:Adobe After Effects CS3:Scripts:render.jsx"
	DoScriptFile alias sScriptPath
end tell

Javascript:

Code:

	//check the render queue and make certain at least one item is queued
		safeToRunScript = false;
		for (i = 1; i <= app.project.renderQueue.numItems; ++i) {
			if (app.project.renderQueue.item(i).status == RQItemStatus.QUEUED) {
				safeToRunScript = true;
				break;
			}
		}
		if (! safeToRunScript) {
			alert ("You do not have any items set to render.");
		}
	
	
		var myQueue = app.project.renderQueue //creates a shortcut for RQ
		
		// Call render
		myQueue.render();
