How to Not send out blank doc in email when using the Render tool

Hello,

 

 I have tried being creative in trying to find a solution, like something similar to how I setup a regular output tool to not produce a blank output when no results, but I have been unsuccessful.

 

My scenario is when certain records are located an email is sent out with an excel doc attached. I am using a basic table and the render tool to create the doc, and of course the email tool to send out the file. It is setup to create a temp file that it looks for to attach in the email.

Thanks in advance,

Kim

Can you have the email tool connected to the part of the flow with the render? The email tool will send out as many emails as there are records, so if you connect it to the part of the workflow that would / would not produce records, it should help send an email or not!
