How to get workflow to stop and send email/create a file if there are no records in an XML

Am I missing something very easy here.....  I have a workflow that has several different branches in it and one of the sources (that goes to all branches) is an XML file.  Im having issues when certain tags are missing from the XML, Ive had this before and the only way round it that I found was to union in a 'dummy' blank field with the same name - my issue this time round is that Im pulling out loads of XML tags into the workflow and wonder if there is a way to avoid having to add in loads of these dummy fields, one for every field Im extracting from the XML?

you can use control containers

or you can create a macro and use a container and control it with a field such as row count 
if row count is 1 then it is turned off else turned on.
