Formstack Checkbox to create parallel flows

(0) Share

Posted on by pumkinbug87

I have a Formstack with a checkbox for the user to select as many options as they want.

Each option opens up an additional section on the form to be completed.

I want to create parallel flows based on the options selected.

Mainly this field is going to be my Condition. (Such as I have condition that if Pool Fob is selected, the information is added to a Google Sheet. If Photo Pass is selected an email is generated. If Lap Swim is selected is sends the info to Sharepoint)

However, because it's a checkbox, Power automate doesn't like it.

What do I need to do so that Power Automate understands the different options as conditions.

When I create the condition and select the checkbox, Power Automate adds an additional step called "Apply to Each" and it says "Select an output from previous steps" - but I don't have any previous steps - so I think I'm missing a Data Operation?

I'm not familiar with FormStack. Are you able to show us what the checkbox output looks like when it comes across? Is it JSON?

Formstack is a web-form builder - kind of like Google Forms but more robust.

This is what the output looks like from Power Automate (this was where a single option was shown.)

And this is what it looks like if 2 options are selected

Salesforce is a different module of formstack - My company uses Formstack Forms. I'm not sure what the difference between the two are.

Oh I see! Okay, it's just coming back as an array, so I'm surprised it's angry at you -- though I see "Item" in your condition instead of "Current Item" -- what if you tried "Current Item" instead (it'll be at the VERY bottom of your dynamic content.)
