stop workflow when test fails?

[Matthew]

hello, can someone tell me how i can stop a workflow when a condition is met? No matter what i try, the workflow continues running whether the test passes or fails..

Hi @Matthew 

The message tool with the configuration of 'Error - and stop passing records through this tool' might give you what you want:

Message Tool | Alteryx Help

that sounds like exactly what i want, but it doesn't seem to work.. the error message triggered, but the workflow is still passing through

I found a workaround.. i would have preferred it if the message tool worked, but instead just filtered all rows where the expression was true.. That left me with zero rows, which effectively cancels out the rest of the workflow... though this workflow finishes with an output to tableau.. i hope it doesnt output a table with zero rows this way...
