If the JSON Response Contains no Value, Then Send it to TRUE Branch. How to achieve this?
This is the JSON response I’m getting
If TRUE(No data), then Repeat the HTTP Request again
Instead, What is Happening is. Even if the HTTP Response has nothing. It still goes to the FALSE Branch and Sending Message like this. I want to Prevent this.
Here an example workflow which checks if the data (the JSON object) is empty:
{
"nodes": [
{
"parameters": {
"functionCode": "return [\n {\n json: {}\n }\n]"
},
"name": "Mock Empty",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.function",
"typeVersion": 1,
"position": [
460,
300
]
},
{
"parameters": {
"conditions": {
"number": [
{
"value1": "={{Object.keys($json).length}}",
"operation": "equal"
}
]
}
},
"name": "IF",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.if",
"typeVersion": 1,
"position": [
660,
300
]
},
{
"parameters": {},
"name": "Is Empty",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.noOp",
"typeVersion": 1,
"position": [
850,
200
]
},
{
"parameters": {},
"name": "NOT Empty",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.noOp",
"typeVersion": 1,
"position": [
850,
400
]
}
],
"connections": {
"Mock Empty": {
"main": [
[
{
"node": "IF",
"type": "main",
"index": 0
}
]
]
},
"IF": {
"main": [
[
{
"node": "Is Empty",
"type": "main",
"index": 0
}
],
[
{
"node": "NOT Empty",
"type": "main",
"index": 0
}
]
]
}
}
}
I got it Working.
In the Function field of Mock Empty.
I used this code and connected the Branches. It worked.
items[0].json.myVariable = 1;
return items;
Here is my flow.
If the Data is not present. It’ll retry again.
Sorry but do not understand at all. The Function Node was just there to specifically create an empty item. It is not needed in your workflow at all as you said the HTTP Request node does that and you want to test the data it returns.
If you use the code you posted above it would totally defeat the purpose as it simply always sets data. Meaning the data would so never be empty and so there is then no need to even have the IF-Node as it would never execute the empty-path (as it is never empty).
Yes, You’re right, I just tested it. The code I have mentioned isn’t working at all.
This made it work. Thanks @jan
And I’m getting this Error while using Google Sheets Node

I followed these things mentioned in this post. But It didn’t help.
If you have that problem you must have missed one of the steps. I advise you to simply start again from the beginning following this guide:
https://docs.n8n.io/credentials/google/#prerequisites
This is Great. Will update you soon.
Hey @jan
It worked great, But I’m getting this notification and can’t save the workflow.
And Yes, I’m having the Credential with the same name and not using it for any node.
The last two questions/problems in this topic were totally unrelated to the original question. Please make sure to always start a new topic in this case!
If we do not do that, it will become very messy and people that have similar problems will never find the answer to their problem.
Anyway, your problem sounds like this issue:
Sadly was not able to reproduce it. Did you try to select other credentials (you can simply create some temporary ones), save and then select those again and then resave?
