If no html table

Posted on by GenAi

Hi,

I have a desktop flow that extract html table from a webpage. The issue I have come to discover is, sometimes there isn't any transaction and that means no html table. How do include a condition to the flow to move on if no html table exist instead of stopping because there isn't a table to extract?

Thank you

How is your web page looks like with table value or without value?

Meanwhile you may try to using the below recommended actions for the same:

1. If web page contains and capture some element in your table

2. You can also use "Get details of element on web page"

My Webpage looks like this if there isn't any transaction, the flow works if there is a table but breaks if there isn't

Ok got it. Before extract the table from web page, just place the below action and add "No Transaction Found" text as element. If it exists, then don't execute the extract table and skip the extraction process and else you place the extract table actions. Hope you understand this logic.
