Flow failing when optional field for email ID is blank

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by NeetaMehra 17

Hi Everyone,

 

I have a flow which is triggered when someone submits MS Form, it generates an email notification.

In MS Form I have 2 fields naming Requester (mandatory filed) and Requester 2 (optional field).

Flow works fine if we enter email id in both the fields, however it’s fails if we skip to fill email id in optional field (Requester 2).

 

Could anyone please help what can be it’s resolution? Thanks in advance

     Add a condition to check if the field is empty before hand. If Requester 2 = Empty, go down the "Yes" path that excludes the profile search. If populated, go down the "No" path that includes the profile search.
