Hi guys,

In the below array, I have a custom field called “Date Sent” and I’d like to check if the value of this data is equal to a specific date to decide if I will continue or not the flow.

What would be the best way to proceed?

Thanks

Filter would be a good solution. I think it will work if you set it to the connection to which the following modules are connected.

The problem is that I don’t know how to get the value from this array to setup the filter.

When you select Condition in Filter, don’t you get a screen for selecting variables? A screenshot is a sample.

I have but what I’d like to do is the following using your example:

Take the Owners array you have in the screenshot. Imagine your array has dozens of instances and you have inside this array two keys: name and value.

I want to filter the name = “John” and in the same array value != 47

For that example, it would seem to be a good idea to set it up as shown in the image (using map function). Could you try this?

I’m not sure the map function doesn’t work for my array… It always returns a blank array.

Anyways, I used the iterator and filter as you recommended and partially worked.

My challenge now with this flow is that the “Mes envio” might not exist and if it doesn’t I still want to go through. Do you have any ideas on how to solve this case?

Thanks for being helpful!

It would be better to set an OR condition in the Filter that does not include ‘Mes envio’.
