How to user IF or Switch with empty value?

[Jorge_M]

Describe the issue/error/question

Hi, how can I use properly the IF or SWITCH when the JSON response is empty?

What is the error message (if any)?

I am using a IF and also tried with switch to create a path according to a “SET” action result, the thing that is happening is, that even if the response is empty, it still recognizes as giving a results, so how can I set properly the if or the switch to recognize the response is empty valued?
As you can see in the screenshot I tried using a condition String with “Is not empty”, but it the result is still true instead of false.

Thank you very much.

I believe Value 1 is checking the array parent [ ]and not the child { }.
Replace the variable in Value 1 with the { } nest instead and let me now if that works.
If not, paste your workflow here I’d be able to help you better.
