Control Condition not outputting negative output

Hi!

I'm making an onboarding tracker for a business and I'm having issues with updating data from a Sharepoint form to a Sharepoint List.

currently I've got it working so that the form content updates a matches list item (full name in Form matches with full name in List).

The issue I've got is that when I put in a false value, it's supposed to email me saying that adding the person failed but instead it does nothing!

any ideas on what I need to change for it to work?

Screenshots of the flow here:

Hi @rwilson1 , Can you explain more how you put in a false value? I might be wrong but based on the flow screenshot it seems it will always be true as we're filtering Get Items only where EmployeeName eq FullName and doing the same condition inside Apply_to_each action.

I think the way I thought it would work is when the form is entered with a name that isnt included within the list that the fullname wouldnt match against the employeename and then output the negative result.

Is that not whats happening here?

Your Get items will only return items if the query matches, so when there is no match the Apply to each won't execute.

Directly after your Get items you can have a Condition to check the length of the result.
If the length is greater than 0 you can update the item and send the email saying updated.
If the length is 0 you can send the email saying no matches.

The condition would use the following expression:
length(outputs('Get_items')?['body/value'])

The full flow.
