Hi, i am currently using the flow below. (there are some greek words there-you can ignore them). Some of the files are attached and sent to the emails and the flow is working as intended, but in most of the cases there is this message below "The execution of template action 'Get_file_content' skipped: the branching condition for this action is not satisfied." . Nothing is different from the other lines. everything is the same, yet some lines are working and some not. why is that and how can i fix it?

@iliasef To troubleshoot your Condition action. I would recommend inserting two Compose actions above your Condition action to store the dynamic content you are using in your condition. This way you can view the output and confirm that the dynamic content values are what you are expecting.

This is especially important considering you are using the is equals to operator. I cover this in the YT tutorial below.

In this tutorial I cover:

✅ How to troubleshoot a false Condition action result

✅ How to get dynamic content when it isn’t selectable from the list of dynamic content

✅ How to troubleshoot an Apply to Each action that isn’t looping through

✅ How to troubleshoot a skipped Apply to Each action

✅ How to troubleshoot a Filter Query

✅ How to use a SharePoint yes/no column in a Filter Query

✅ How to use Compose actions to troubleshoot a Power Automate flow

✅How to troubleshoot multiple emails being sent

✅ How to troubleshoot multiple Teams messages being sent

However, based on your flow, you should consider using a Filter Array action instead of using an Apply to each action and a condition action. It's not efficient to loop through each file returned and run a condition check. To learn more about how to use the Filter Array action, please refer to this YT Tutorial I uploaded.

Hope this helps!
