Stopping Part of Workflow if no Records come through

Hello All,

 

I am in the process of creating an email output workflow and needing help on best way to stop certain parts of the workflow if there is no data coming through in  order to avoid that part erroring out and stopping the rest of the emails that do have data from going out.

 

This will be automated to run daily and some of the paths will not have data on it some days, is there a tool that the data can run through that will evaluate whether there is data and if so allow that path to continue?  I have attached a screenshot of the workflow (also i realize not all the email tools are connected).

 

Thanks

 

Doug

Hello @dougop,

you could use a count records tool and put the email tools within a macro. This macro uses the counted records as condition to enable or disable a container (with the email tool inside). If you want I could put together an example for you.

You should be able to use control containers to determine if records have been output before sending email.

Is there any way you could still put together an example? I am having a similar problem
