Ending a flow if an array is empty

[stevenls]

Hi there,

I have some flows that run but sometimes the array is empty and the flow fails.  The array being empty is correct but what I want to do is gracefully end the flow so it doesn't fail and then end up being suspended.

After the Filter Array I have a condition that is 

empty(body('Filter_Array')) is equal to false

then if yes it continues on with the flow.  I am not sure what to put in No, as I put nothing there but the flow still has a fail as the run result.

Not sure what to do with the if no when the filter_array empty = true.

Thanks.

Hi @stevenls ,

There is a flow step called "Terminate" that you can use when filter_array empty = true.

You can change the Status to "Succeeded" so that those don't show up as failed runs.

oh awesome, I'll put that in place now and test it today.  I will loop back later on with an outcome.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

That worked a treat.  Do you know if there is a way to refer to the name of the flow that this happens in.

As I said there are a couple of flows that are going to fail so I am just going to trigger an email to myself to say "Flow <Name> failed go double check the status" just to be really sure.  

I know I could type the flow name into the email but just wondering if there is a way to pull in the flow name dynamically

I do not believe there is a way to reference the flow name dynamically, unfortunately. I think you will just have to manually add that name into your email step.

ok thanks for your help with this one.  At least now the flows that fail wont get suspended as they have actually succeeded.  WIN 😄
