Filters and If Else Make No Sense to Me

[DSides]

I am trying to do a simple filter, so that if A = B then the flow stops and if A <>= B then the flow continues. The filter and If Else nodes are very confusing and it doesn’t seem to have the functionality to do it. Gummie keeps telling me to take certain steps to reconfigure the nodes, but I don’t see the settings that Gummie is telling me to view, and I am unable to use the inputs in the logic for the if/else node.

Thank you,

Hey @DSides! If you’re reporting an issue with a flow or an error in a run, please include the run link and make sure it’s shareable so we can take a look.

1. Find your run link on the history page. Format: https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?run_id={{your_run_id}}&workbook_id={{workbook_id}}

2. Make it shareable by clicking “Share” → ‘Anyone with the link can view’ in the top-left corner of the flow screen.
   

3. Provide details about the issue—more context helps us troubleshoot faster.

You can find your run history here: https://www.gumloop.com/history

Hey @DSides – This should be possible although I can see how certain things can be confusing. We’re working on an improved IF-ELSE node to avoid such issues.

That said, can you share your workflow so I can help you setup the Filter node?

[DSides]

Sure. Here you go: https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?workbook_id=gU4MyiBSJjp1GBY3E99tUz. Thank you.

In this workflow are you looking to filter rows based on a given org name?

If that is the only condition you don’t actually need a Filter node, you can use the Search Value feature and enable it as a dynamic input so it can be connected with the Input node.

Here’s the workflow: https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?workbook_id=eM2Bpov7bTpbHvWhoVpfKa&tab=1

In the workflow above, only the rows with which include the Org_Name from the input node will be passed through.

Let me know if this makes sense and works for you.

Okay, I don’t think this will work, because if the search value is not the same at the input, then I need to overwrite the value in the sheet.

I believe I have that piece figured out, I just cannot figure out how to make a rule saying that if the value in the sheet = the input, then the flow stops and doesn’t complete
