transfer variables to Power Automate

Posted on by ishubin

Hey folks,

I have a conversation flow with several branches.
Each branch has its own variables.
There is one node after all the branches, which sends variables to Power Automate.
The problem is that PVA needs ALL the variables from ALL the branches to send them to PA.

What would you suggest to manage this case?

Thank you!

Hi, @ishubin .

A picture may help to better illustrate your problem. As I understand it, you have multiple branches with distinct variables, and at the conclusion of all branches, you're calling a Power Automate function that includes all of the variables? If so, all of the variables should be available to pass, even if they aren't populated. If your problem is that Power Automate complains when some of the variables are blank, you could mark those input variables in PA as optional and/or use a Formula when passing them to test for IsBlank(), and pass a different value (i.e. 'Default', etc.)

Find this post helpful? Please mark it as the solution and/or provide kudos so that it will help others in the future.

Cheers,
Matt

@MattJimison thank you for your suggestion. Your understanding is correct. I have tried to use the optional input field in PA, and IsBlank. But probably I did it in the wrong way, because I still have the issue

Hi all,

Have you tried using Coalesce() for each field, so when there is an empty one it won't give you any error.

For example: In PVA, after calling the Power Automate action, you can edit the action of each field and place a formula. Using Coalesce, any empty field can display nothing or something else you want to display.
So, the result is that you will just receive the data that you need without errors.

Cheers,

Fernando
