Don't process blank values at the end of an array

#1 · March 4, 2024, 6:25 pm

USE CASE:
We have a custom action where a user enters a number of values into an array variable, and then a loop action creates items based on those values.

ISSUE:
Users will often press <Enter> when done rather than leaving the cursor at the end of the line of the last value. This causes a record to be created using an empty value which then has to be deleted.

QUESTION:
How can we get the loop to only process the array value only if it Is Not Empty as done when using a condition?

Hi @pf-amalin,

Please find steps to create a gateway in the custom action and check for the blank value:

Edit the required custom action > Drag and drop ‘Create Gateway’ event on to the canvas after the loop control > Add below condition in the gateway > Save settings > Publish the custom action.

Syntax: Advanced Condition ‘not equal’ $GetIterationValue(Loop Control Name),,

Example: Advanced Condition ‘not equal’ $GetIterationValue(Run for all users),,

Please refer to the attached images for details.

That did the trick.

Thanks!
