Array item not matching Condition

Posted on by Lisa Peoples

Hello, I'm new to PA.

I have created this flow (not complete, but trying to get through the Condition first.

The List Actions node returns an array, here is the first element:

"body": {
"count": 151,
"next_link": "https://api.sky.blackbaud.com/constituent/v1/actions?status_code=Open&limit=5&sort_token=ew0KICAiRGF0ZSI6ICIyMDI2LTA0LTIzVDExOjA4OjQ1LjA3KzEwOjAwIiwNCiAgIklkIjogIjU4MDQxIiwNCiAgIkNvbHVtbiI6IDExLA0KICAiRGlyZWN0aW9uIjogMA0KfQ%3d%3d",
"value": [
{
"id": "57998",
"category": "Task/Other",
"completed": false,
"computed_status": "Open",
"constituent_id": "68377",
"date": "2026-05-09T00:00:00",
"date_added": "2026-04-21T11:01:30.977+10:00",
"date_modified": "2026-04-21T11:01:30.997+10:00",
"fundraisers": [
"507193"
],
"priority": "High",
"status": "Open",
"status_code": "Open",
"summary": "Failed Recurring Gift",
"type": "RG Failed"
},

The Apply to Each action node is for "body/value" and returns the same output as above

The "Select Fundraiser ID" returns this:

As soon as I put the "Select Fundraiser" Output Item into the Condition, it adds the For Each above it (I renamed to For Each Fundraiser)

But this condition is Never met.

Can someone tell me why?

Thank you.

Try one of these two methods instead:

Wrap the Output Item dynamic content in an int() expression to return the value as an integer.

Use an expression on the left that returns a Boolean. For example: equals(int(item()?['Value']), 507193) and then on the right side of the condition insert true from the expression builder.

Even if a field represents a numeric ID, if it’s wrapped in quotes in JSON, Power Automate treats it as a string. You must either:

convert it using int(), or

compare it as a string

Otherwise, the condition will never evaluate to true.

Thank you David!

Wrapping the Output Item in int() worked.

I had previously tried to compare it as a string by putting Output Item = "507193" but this did not work. Didn't occur to me to try it your way around.

Cheers,

Lisa.
