I have a custom configuration at the beginning of a HTTP task (sn-prod-inc-creation). The condition is:  
{{ result(“parse\_entity\_tags”).prime\_alert\_type == ‘inc’ }} and validates as ‘true’ in the “preview”.

The result is from a javascript task and the HTTP task waits for the javascript task to complete before it is run.

However, when I run the workflow I get the following error:

Unhandled failed task(s) during workflow execution:

**sn-prod-inc-creation:**  
**Error evaluating custom condition. Undefined variables: prime\_alert\_type.**

Hi jbone!

Can you please send a screenshot of the JavaScript task Result tab?

The best approach is the following syntax:

```markup
{{result("run_javascript_1")["boolean"] == True}}

```

I have workflow , having task1 as dql task that provides app\_id in its output.  
task 1 has output like this,  
[  
{  
“app\_id”: “sample\_app\_1”  
}  
]

i want to write condition for the task 2 , if previous task has value for app\_id then only run task2

How Can I write that condition?

Hi Heramb,

in the step afterwards, you can have a condition for the result such as this:

```markup
{{result("task_1")["app_id"] == "sample_app"}}

```

And you’d put it in the task 2 in the condition on the right side:

Let me know if you can get it working or if you have issues with it.
