Power automate flow from FORMS does not work if the attachment (which is not mandatory) is not added to the responses

Posted on by Claumna221827

Hi team,

 

New user here, I have a flow to send an email to specific team members with a responses from FORMS, "if available" will include attachments. The flow only works if the attachments are added, if they are not, then the Parse JSON2 does not work with a null value (Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Parse_JSON_2' inputs at line '0' and column '0': 'Required property 'content' expects a value but got null. Path ''.'.), in the initial Parse JSON if not attachment is this: 

 "r1c2119aa82c641919131fd4a92c5b022": "",

    Hi @Claumna221827 ï¼Œ

    You can add a condition to determine whether compose is empty. If it is not empty, 'Parse Json'.

    Hey @Claumna221827 - In Parse JSON you can modify the schema to handle null values..

     

    "test": {
    "type": ["number","null"]
    },

     

    I also see an error in your Parse JSON there is just >type {} > snippet from your schema below:

     

     "id": {
                    "type": "string"
                },
                "type": {},
                "size": {
                    "type": "integer"
                },
