Hello,

What is the easiest way to have a bot check to see if a field on a website is populated? I need to put logic in the bot I am doing that if a field is null (i.e. blank) to populate it with a period, but to leave it alone if it is already populated with text.

Thanks,

Jason Harper

Hi @harperjg ,

 

You can use If → Object Exists condition for the same.

So, here is what I am doing…

  1. I am capturing the field and doing a “Get Property” action, and set the Property name “DOMXPath.” I am then setting the property in the “ShipInfoValue” variable:

For my If Statement condition, I am using the string condition telling it to check the variable to see if it does not equal null:
 

I am doing this correctly or I am I missing something?

 

Thanks!
