Workflow to Organize Documents and Move documents - Condition keeps skipping

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 56

I created a workflow to organize PDFs that come into a Document folder based on the file name, when I created the workflow and tested each individual document, each condition worked fine. But as I started adding in more conditions to account for the different locations, my conditions are no longer being recognized. 

 

Here is an example of the workflow as it works with the individual documents being sorted and the conditions:

iramos85_1-1689886261867.png

and it had no problem sorting the file with those parameters with the file name like so:

But as I'm moving into testing before adding a parallel branch for multiple locations, i'm no longer getting any responses when i run tests. this is the current flow:

iramos85_3-1689886483275.png

 

All of my tests are coming back as "no inputs"

even though I can clearly see that the information is there before it hits the condition:

Does anyone else have any experience with these kind of large document sorting workflows? Maybe I'm confusing the system with these conditions?

    I'm manually creating a new file each time.  

    I delete my test file. > Manually  Test Flow > Upload Test File > Test Fails with no Inputs

     

    Just tested again:

    and these are the conditions it is looking to meet:

    How are you testing the flow? Are you manually creating a file to trigger the flow to test each time? Or are you using the Test Automatic with a recently used trigger and rerun the flow?

     

    I'm wondering if it is having an issue with a rerun flow because the file was moved in the previous test?
