Hello,
I would need a trigger that go to a specific step if the interactive table (after I set filters) is blank. Is there a way to create this action?
Or is there a if condition for a hole table and then you can say, if there is no data with… in the table then…?
Thank you
hello @katha,
this can be done using the Table API to get a count of records that match the filters you set.
here’s a quick guide on how to do this:
- Create a Connector Function to count the records in the Table with the filters (more info.: https://support.tulip.co/en/articles/3983173-how-to-use-the-table-api):
- run the connector function with the filters you set:
- check the returned count from the Connector Function, and implement logic based on that value:
in the case that’s shared here we are simply showing a message, but you could navigate to a given step.
does this help you build what you’re attempting to build?? let me know if I can clarify something!!
hello @gio,
I have some issues and during the running of the app appear the error: connector function failed. Have you any idea where the problem could be ?
hello @katha,
I notice that the endpoint does not include /count at the end it. could you try adding it after the Table ID and letting us know if this solves it??
thanks!!
@gio. Thank you for your help but it still not working. So it should be right?
@katha, that looks correct to me.
could you press the Test button at the top right of that screen and send a screenshot??
thanks!!
OK, thanks @katha!! it looks like the Authentication details are incorrect (username/password). the Authentication to be used is not the one to Login to Tulip but the one for the API. if you search for Testing the API in here: https://support.tulip.co/en/articles/3983173-how-to-use-the-table-api, you can see where you can find the credentials that need to be entered.
let me know how that goes.
hello @gio, thank you for your response but I still have some issues:
- If I use the API documentation it seems that it doesn’t give me the right URL:
- problem: I wrote the URL by my own in the box, but I don’t know how I can connect the input with the filter in the URL box (in your example it was “minimum” and appears in grey).
hello @katha,
- do you mean that the parameters for the filters are incorrect?? were you able to enter the Authentication (API Key & Secret) in the Connector Details?? if so, were you able to Authenticate the request??
- to access the input in your function, you can enter the input between $ signs. so for example,
$OrderID$in your example. let me know if this works!!
@gio thank you,
okay problem 2 is solved, but the connector still doesn’t work. So the basic Auth is also set with API Key and Secret. And I think also that the description is from an older version of TULIP.
hello @katha, it should still work the same way!!
that information on the credentials looks correct, could you share a screenshot of the error message you’re seeing when you test the function??
hello @gio,
So now I receive always an error because I don’t know what I must insert in the request body
@katha, if you’re using the /count endpoint, the body should be empty. do you currently have anything there??
@katha it seems like there is not a Test Value being entered for the OrderID however. could you enter the value of an existing order and let me know what that returns?? thanks!!
