triggerBody -> checking of fields that are part of value inside body

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 18

Hi All,

I have added a condition element where I would like to check if field: "number" has a value, then return true, else return false.
I am using triggerBody to query for attributes that are part of the body inside the XML, where I just do not know how to check the the fields are under the parameter: "Value".

 

flow:

function in conditional element:

funciton=triggerBody()?['value/number'] "is eqaul to" function=null


XML:

    Hi @v-bofeng-msft 

    I sorted that out, tnx.

    checking if field is blank 

    empty(body('Find_records_(V3)')?['value'][0]?['number'])
     
    and I read a blog about the JSON structure (parameters, objects, array), so field "number" is a parameter inside the first array of value object, and the value is located in the body of JSON.

    Hi @DamjanZ :

    Please try:

    triggerBody()?['body']?['value'][0]['number']
