In my zap, Action A should run if a value exists; if absent, Action B executes. Missing storage data prevents condition activation. Is there an inherent solution?
In my experience, working with Zapier conditional executions can be tricky, especially when it comes to handling storage data. I once faced a similar issue where a value not being available at runtime resulted in unexpected behavior. What I found useful was implementing a preliminary check using a filter or a path to verify the presence of the data before proceeding. This pre-check ensures that the workflow only follows the intended branch when the value exists. Additionally, using a catch function for error handling helped me understand when the data was missing and debug the issue more effectively.
In my case, ensuring that the workflow only triggers the intended branch when data is actually present required rethinking the Zap structure. I solved a similar conundrum by introducing a preliminary check to confirm data existence before proceeding. This method sometimes involves adding a setup step to default missing values or to trigger a graceful error handling sequence when data is absent. By planning the sequence this way, I could flexibly manage the branches without running into unpredictable behavior due to missing storage values.
