Check Null condition using power automate expression

Hi,

I am retrieving records from one entity using a FetchXML query and then binding these values to another entity. Before binding, I need to verify if the value exists using a Power Automate expression.

If the value is blank, nothing should be passed; if the value exists, the specified value should be used..

Ex: outputs('GetLeadInfo')?['body/value'][0]['lastname']

Thanks,

Hello @Rahman1005

use a coalesce statement. in your example you would put

coalesce(outputs('GetLeadInfo')?'body/value')?[0]?['lastname'],'') if the outputs is null or if [0] doesn't exist or if ['lastname'] doesnt exist it will not fail and give you the default value of '' or you can replace the '' with a default value or the expression Blank() or null or whatever you want

P.S. you should put the ? before every property because if the property doesnt exist at all, it will cause expressions to fail, if its NOT ther e at all, as in the property doesn't exist on the object, it will just pass null instead of fail.

Also for reference
