How can I set a condition to skip a flow action if the condition is not met?

I have set up a simple cloud flow for an internal customer which collects MS form responses into a SharePoint List. In my survey, the final 2 questions are file uploads (non mandatory as requested by the customer). The flow will append any files uploaded to the SharePoint List item.

I have tested the flow and it works when an attached is uploaded for the 1st question but if there is no attachment in the second question (question asks for any supporting material) it fails. Similarly, if there is no file upload for the 1st question it will fail and therefore stop.

I want the flow to "skip" if no attachment is found?

Many thanks for your help.

Use "Configure run after" on "Add attachment" and on "Add attachment 2".

@Ben_Miller you don't use a condition. For the actions that relate to whether a file is uploaded you need to click the 3 dots in the top right of the action, select Configure Run After and check the has failed. It will put a little info icon between the actions.
