Posted on by 2
I tried to build the flow from the condition module number #25 and I keep getting the below error message: The execution of template action 'Get_the_SP_Employee_List_Specified_Fields' skipped: the branching condition for this action is not satisfied.
I have the same question (0)

    Need help With the Conditions exercise and flow - Condition Not Satisfied Error.
     
    this simply means that whatever is in your condition is going to the False side OR it means you accidentally set the Run After to something other than Success, what I mean is, if you set it to Failed, it will have expected the condition to fail, if the condition succeededs it would try to go to the True/yes side but your compose won't run.
     
    Its either of those but irrelevant really as its usually the case simply that it went to the false side.
     
    2 things
     
    1) and most import, right before the condition add a Compose.
    type this exactly as specific
    -- (two dashes just typed in). Then put in your Department/Value then put --
     
    This way it will tell us 2 things
    a) the value of Department/Value since you are comparing it to Finance
    b) if there are any spaces
     
    2) Please share a picture of the flow when it runs, because you have a loop and I do not know if the message you are getting is for ALL loop iterations or just 1 or just 5 of 8 or whatever.
     
    3) put a compose in the False/No side and just type the word false in it, to prove it went to that side. if it did NOT go to that side AND you get this error, then its a problem with the RunAfter settings (as mentioned above, but this is super rare for someone to accidentally set)
     
    But if #1 is NOT Finance then you know why its not ever going to the Yes side.
     
    Since its a loop, you can click the > on the Apply to Each and check every single loop iteration.
     
    The Value is most likely wrong or blank and not equal to Finance, which means your Get items is wrong or whatever you put in the Apply to Each (from) is wrong and has no way to ever be Finance
     
    Lastly, AFTER you do the Compose first, which will probably tell you the problem also make sure you didn't accidentally put a space after you typed in Finance
     
    One of the above will tell you the problem.

    If these suggestions help resolve your issue, Please consider Marking the answer as such and also maybe a like.

    Thank you!

    Thank you that was helpful It looked like it worked for employee number eleven or iteration 11 of the For Each node within the flow. See screen shot.

    Then the answer I provided is the answer. Its going to say that for records that do not match the word Finance.
     
    If you expected it to match every time thats a different story, but if it doesn't (and that is why I wanted the compose to prove one way or the other) then the answer is my above
     
    its working exactly as intended, you have some records that are = Finance and some that are not. The ones that are not are going to go to the No / False side and give you the skipped message because you have nothing in the No side for it to do, also why I  suggested to put a compose there because then you would have it doing something whether its Finance or not.
     
    So there is no issue which is what my steps and suggestions were saying and would have demonstrated.
