I think it's still likely that they will vote to invoke Article 50, but the leeway they have is with amendments. E.g. Is there enough support for an amendment requiring the UK to stay in the customs union? Possibly.

You cannot make Article 50 conditional, as once the notification is sent you cannot unsend it—you are stuck with whatever is agreed between the state and the Council of Europe (or nothing, if no agreement is made within two years, or longer with unanimous agreement).
