Hello everybody,

I couldn't find a tip to my question in the forum:

I would like my flow to skip some actions if a solution is not encountered.

In the first pic, you see I check if there is an attachment in a form, but if there is not, the subsequent checks will also be empty. So I would like the flow to ignore the next checks. See second pic, I find it hard to explain 🙂

Thank you for the help !

Thank you for your reply,

in fact, i simplified my condition to have nothing in my false check, so it did the same as you suggested, just skip to the next check and hit the false side...

You can create a variable before your checks and call it 'skip_checks' and set it to boolean - FALSE.
Then if any of your checks fail, set the skips_checks variable to TRUE.
Then modify your conditions to include "skips_checks is equal to false" + your specific checks. Your IF conditions then will read your previous check failed, and won't go inside the "yes" condition.
It won't really "skip over" the steps like your diagram, but rather quickly hit the false condition.

Hope that helps!
