URGENT HELP NEEDED! Search For Users (v2) Employee Not Found Condition Not Working

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by AP-16012335-0 2
I have a flow using the Search For Users (v2), where if an employee is not found, update a sharepoint list item to "N", otherwise "Y". When an employee is not found, its not updating with a "N" but its blank. See attached pictures.
 
Thanks for the help!

    Your Condition is inside another For each loop. That loop only runs when Search for users returns users. So when no employee is found, the returned value array is empty, the loop never starts, and your SharePoint item never gets updated to N.
     
    Try this:
     
    In the Conition use 
     
    empty(body('Search_for_users_(V2)')?['value'])
    is equal to 
    true
     
    True branch update to N, False branch update to Y.
     
    And remove the other Apply to each.
     
     
     
     
    Let me know if it worked and mark a verified if it worked!
