Looping back to previous question

[MikkoM]

Is there a way to loop back to a previous question when an invalid answer is detected?

For example, I have a topic that asks for an order # and proceeds when an order # is found.

How do I keep looping to the question X amount of times until the user provides a matching order # or exceeds the number of attempts?

Hi @MikkoM 

Yes, there is, you need to treat the data if it is not found.
I created a situation where the data is not found for you to understand the logic that must be created.
For this I used the Power Automate to search the data informed by the user.

As for your search not finding the data you need to define a return parameter and create a validation condition in your topic, so the user will return to the flow of informing the data until it is found.

Right, no way to do this without Power Automate?

Hi @MikkoM,  If you already have the data in your stream it is possible. If in your topic the answer is always going to be #, you can put in the condition, if it differs from # it goes back to the input request.
