Output of File Browse [#1] variable, for use in a Condition

Good afternoon internet,

 

I'd like to use the presence of a text string in a File Browse tile on a user interface to change the direction of a Detour tile in the application. To do this, I'm trying to use the [#1] variable in the condition tile with the formula "IsEmpty([#1])" to switch the detour right, but it isn't working. Is there a way to use File Browse with a Condition tile?

 

I've attached a screenshot of my basic workflow. Thanks for your help!

You'll want to use a formula like the one below where "True" means detour right and false means detour left

 

IF IsEmpty([#1]) Then "False" ELSE "True" ENDIF

That was it! Thank you very much. It was my first time using the tool, so I didn't know what the outputs looked like.
