Return Error If

Throw an error and halt the flow if a conditional test is true. If you want to conditionally stop a flow but under normal circumstances so it doesn't appear as an error, use Continue If instead.

Input

Field Definition Type Required
value a Value to be compared. String FALSE
comparison Method of comparison. See table. Dropdown FALSE
value b Value to be compared against. String FALSE
message Error message to return when the condition is true and the flow halts. String FALSE
statusCode Status code number for the type of error thrown. Number FALSE

The type of values for the value a and value b fields determine how a comparison is performed. For example, the operator greater than compares numbers based on numeric value, but compares string values based on alphabetical sort order. Thus, the number comparison 80 > 9 is true, but the text comparison "80" > "9" is false.

Use Case

equal to Compare two texts, numbers, dates or true/false to see if they have the same value.
not equal to Compare two texts, numbers, dates or true/false to see if they have different values.
greater than or equal Compare two texts, numbers or dates to see if the first has the same or greater value than the second.
less than or equal Compare two texts, numbers or dates to see if the first has the same or lesser value than the second.
greater than Compare two texts, numbers or dates to see if the first has a greater value than the second.
less than Compare two texts, numbers or dates to see if the first has a lesser value than the second.
a multiple of Compare two numbers to see if value a is an exact multiple of value b. For example, 12, 0 and -4 are all multiples of 4, but 2, 3 and 7 are not.
in Compare two texts to see if value a is a part of value b. For example, "test" is in "this is a test", but there is no "i" in "team".
not in Compare two texts to see if value a is not part of value b.
has key When value a is an object and value b is text, tests to see if the object has a key with the specified name. For example, true if value a is {"test":123} and value b is "test".
doesn't have key When value a is an object and value b is text, tests to see if the object does not have a key with the specified name.
is empty Checks to see if value a is empty; ignores value b. What defines "empty" varies by type. Note: Only works for Text and Object. Numbers, Dates, T/F, are viewed as empty.
is not empty Checks to see if value a is not empty. Note: Only works for Text and Object. Numbers, Dates, T/F, are viewed as empty.
