Condition succeeded, but output wrong

Posted on by Kingfisher1

I have created a flow. when a response is submitted, get details in an excel. For each row, a sequential number is generated.

For eg, for an exhibition, user has to select from 3 time slots. Slot 1, 2 and 3. But limit for each slot is 150. So condition is set as if Token is greater than or equal to 151, then an email to user to be sent as slot is full, else pick the token and send to the user.

Here the condition shows as succeeded, but workflow went through "True" where it should have been 'False'

What could be the reason

Hi @Kingfisher1 ,

I think the root cause here is your greater than or equal to works with numeric values, not strings as in "151". Have you tried just using 151 as the value verses the string expression?

Tested. below error popped up. Unable to process template language expressions for action 'Condition_3' at line '0' and column '0': 'The template language function 'greaterOrEquals' expects two parameter of matching types. The function was invoked with values of type 'String' and 'Integer' that do not match.'.

Earlier condition works, but it chose to go with 'True' instead of 'False'. flow ran successfully though

Use an int expression for the Token value from Excel to convert it to an integer (assuming this column only contains whole numbers). Then you can just enter 151 on the right side of the condition without converting it to a string.

Hi @Kingfisher1 ,

So you need number to number. Change your condition to:

int(insert_your_dynamic_content_token) greater than or equal to 151

That worked. created initiatlize variable before the switch function and added it to the condition. Put just the number. It seems to be obedient now. 🙂 Thats a solution for me.
