Struggling with Empty syntax using new expression builder

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi all,

 

I'm a bit of a beginner trying to replicate the flow @JamieMcAllister kindly demonstrated in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxuTVjQbECo 

 

I can't seem to figure out how the syntax should be input using the new expression editor. There isn't an advanced mode available yet so I can't add the expression @Empty(body('Get_items')!['value']) . I'm sure I must be missing something obvious but can't work out what it is.

 

Any help would be much appreciated!
