Getting Join Paths failed from Google Doc comparison

In a Google Doc (HD-Product Names) I’ve listed multiple product names in csv format that are some of our official product names.

The flow extracts all product names it finds in web pages and the intention is to flag (output) any product names from this that are not in the official list mentioned above.

To do this, rather than using a filter (which had another error I was unable to solve), instead I’m asking an AI node to compare the product names it finds with the list of product names from the Google Doc (HD-Product Names).

I insert the list of product names into text that forms a prompt input, like this:

Using all product names in this comma-separated list ({input2}), determine if any of the list of product names from the context are missing and output the name.

Below is the workflow. I won’t touch it this time :-D.

Hey @AangelHD! 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.

Hey @AangelHD!

The Join Paths node is meant to be used after an IF-ELSE or an Error Shield node. It merges two or more separate execution paths and outputs the one that was actually executed.

Right now, both of your inputs are active, so the node doesn’t know which one to pick. Could you share more about what you’re trying to achieve with it? I’d be happy to suggest an alternative!

Hi, Wasay. Thanks for your reply and support. I used Join Paths because Gummie suggested that I use it.

The goal of the secondary process is to identify all the product names in the document that was extracted (which came from a web page) and compare them to a list in a google doc (or a sheet, either is fine).

When a product name is missing, I want a message added to the end of the final Google doc saying that the product name could not be found.

For example:
“Our newest product, XYZ NES Basic Edition, provides full coverage of…”

Product Name List:
XYZ NES Core
XYZ NES Essentials

Added to the document:

Can’t find XYZ NES Basic edition in the approved list.

Something like that. I tried using a sheet and a filter and couldn’t get that to work either.

Cheers,
André

Hey @AangelHD - I’ll email you with my calendar link, it would be easier to go through this live if you don’t mind.
