Nodes w/ No Input - Continue Run?

Would it be possible to set certain nodes to be ignored when there is no input for them. For example a workflow where the user can upload 2-5 items to be aggregated together. If node 5 has no content - can the workflow still run properly?

Hey @Jude2009! 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 @Jude2009 – The most optimal way to set this up would be to wrap the node that you think might have an optional input in an ErrorShield node, and then pair that with a JoinPaths node. This approach ensures that even if the node throws an error when it doesn’t receive input, the JoinPaths node will still allow the workflow to continue without halting the entire flow.

There are a few examples in the JoinPaths doc link below, feel free to check those out: JoinPaths documentation.

Let me know if that makes sense. If you get stuck, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help further.
