WorkFlow - stop if no data was retrivied from the API

[y_buccellato]

Good morning community,

I'm using workflow to retrieve data from D365 and then push it to Dynatrace.
Sometimes the call to the api doesn't provide any data and push_log_to_dynatrace step will fail. (see image)

I was wondering: how can I put a condition that stop the flow if no data was retrieved from the API?

Unfortunately no, but I appreciate your help.

Condition should be "if you have no value in the array then gracefully stop the execution" and I don't find a practical reference to do that.

I revert back to using Power Automate which has an extensive documentation and use case already covred.

Thank you

You can use Task Conditions to enable/disable a Task based on a previous task. In this particular case, you can use the length filter.

For example, on the task post_log_into_dynatrace, switch to Conditions, and try out the following expression in the "And custom condition was met" field:

{{ result("d365_masterdata_intmat").json.value | length > 0 }}

This should lead to this specific task not being executed when the result is an empty list.

 Hope this helps!
