What is your goal?
i need the formula to run like this: check if the email exitst, if not check if the phone exists, if both are not found then move forward.
What is the problem & what have you tried?
This is what i have now:
{
“user”: “{{ifempty(1.fields.field_2.value; 1.fields.field_3.value)}}”
}
Error messages or input/output bundles
Unfortunately it fails and if the it doesnt find the email it move forward.
Screenshots (scenario flow, module settings, errors)
Hey Michael,
the ifempty() function is used to replace an empty value with something else. Not to check if something exists or not.
If this is what you need, then add a second infempty() inside the first one to check the second value as well and replace that if both are empty.
If its something else, then you can use an if() function to check their values.
If you need further assistance, please provide the following:
1. All Relevant Screenshots
We need to see what you’re working with to give you the best advice. Screenshots are important because Make is a visual editor — a picture provides us with more context.
It would help us identify the issue by having screenshots of:
- the full scenario, and the zoomed in parts of the scenario that you are referring to (if your scenario is huge),
- a full scenario run/execution from the history (showing output “speech” bubbles),
- relevant module fields (showing how you’ve used any built-in functions, and how you’ve mapped the variables),
- relevant filters between modules (showing which operators and any built-in functions you’ve used, and how you’ve mapped the variables),
- relevant module input/output bubbles,
- if applicable, any error messages,
- and if applicable, any external services (spreadsheet headers/ sample data/ regex101.com/ etc. to show the item/ record exists, and is set up correctly).

We would appreciate it if you could directly upload screenshots here instead of linking to them outside of this forum. This allows us to zoom in on the image when clicked, and also having improved privacy from third-party sources.
Taking Screenshots
- Microsoft Windows: Take screenshots using the “Windows Snipping Tool”, by pressing either PrtSc or WinShiftS keys on your keyboard.
- MacOS: Take screenshots by pressing CommandShift4 keys on your keyboard.
Uploading Attachments
- Drag image files directly into the rich-text editor, or
- Click on the upload button in the editor toolbar to select files:

2. Scenario Blueprint
Providing your scenario will allow others to quickly recreate and see how you have set up the mappings in each module, and also allows us take screenshots or provide module exports of any solutions we have for you in return. This would benefit you in implementing our suggestions as you can view screenshots of the changes or paste corrected modules back into your scenario.
