How to: 'Resolve a Target URL' - Check if a file was uploaded or not?

How To

What are you trying to achieve?

I have a HTTP ‘Resolve a target URL’ module.

1). I can successfully process a file (image or document) and send it to 'Webflow ‘Create an Item’.
2). Attaching the ‘image or document’ is not a ‘required’ field. When this is the case, the ‘Resolve a target url’ fails.

I want to:
• Skip the ‘Resolve a target url’ when a file has not been uploaded.
• Process a file (image or document) when it exists

2 of the 3 fields to submit within the form are ‘required’ - these work currently, with no additional variable value to define them.

It is the field that is NOT set to ‘required’ I cannot resolve/dget working.

I will caveat, I’m a designer - not a developer, so finding this difficult to resolve.

Steps taken so far

I am using:
‘Set Multiple Variables’ - to check the three file uploads;

a). eventImageUrl
b). eventAttachmentUrl
c). eventLogoUrl

I then:
• Pass the variable to the ‘Resolve a target url’ module.
• I note that when i file is not attached, it literally does not show any result in the ‘Webflow - Watch Events’ module or ‘get a form submission’ module - returns empty.

Prior to setting a variable, I did try a filter before the ‘resolve a target url’, but personally - could not get that to work.

Hey there,

from what I understand - you have a case where the file exists and you want to do one thing, and a case where the file doesn’t exist and you want to do something else, right?

You can use a router module for this followed by filters - execute the top path if the file exists or execute the bottom one if it doesn’t, and have the corresponding modules on each path so you don’t het these errors.
