Condition on "Get Item" action (sharepoint)

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

In my flow I have a "get item" action based on ID

And I want to put a condition in this action :

If it finds no item : create an item with the ID

Else : update the item

I launch my flow but when it don't find item the "get item" return an error ... "item not found"

It doesn't go to the next step (condition)

The condition is : length(outputs('Get_items')?['body/value']) is equal to 0

If the length is 0, the item doesn’t exist yet, I can create it. If it’s not 0, the item already exists and I can use the ID from ‘Get items’ to update it.

But the flow failed when he doesn't found item in the "get item" action ...

Hi @Anonymous,

Because there is no value field in the body you can't check for its length. I would use a slightly different approach. You can first check for the statuscode of the output and if the error message starts with Item Not Found. If that is the case you could create the item.

Below is an example of that approach.

outputs('Get_Item')['statusCode']

is equal to 404

AND

outputs('Get_Item')['body/message']

starts with Item Not Found

And also make sure you configure run after has failed in the settings of your Condition action btw.
