Power automate flows running with blank entries

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I am writing this as I require some assistance with power automate flows. It is attached to 3 SharePoint lists and they are automatically populated by this form “SystemS”.

 

My issue is that when a request is raised , a blank entry is always created within the other SharePoint lists despite the blank entries.

 

I have used branching on the form so you only see the areas which are relevant to them.

 

Please help me to prevent this blank entry. I have shared the flow below.

Is there any way to prevent a flow from running if the fields are blank? I have multiple flows attached to one form which has branching on it. I do not wish for blank entries to populate my SharePoint lists, with eventually my whole organisation using this form, it will become even more of a hassle to delete the entries and draw proper data from the lists.

 

Please help!

Please help if possible!

    Did you try to check if the field is blank using a condition?

    No I have not. I have only just started using SharePoint and Power Automate. How do I do this?

    Hi @Anonymous , 

     

    You can add trigger condition to check if fields are blank.
