"Return the user if the account already exists"

[JustinC]

Hello,

How can I prevent actions in my workflow from running if there IS A USER that already exists and run different actions based on the result/return of the users account in that step?

I don’t see a way to select ‘if user is returned in step 2’ or something, do X,Y,Z instead…

Just off the top of my head (have not tested) - You could check the created date of the user. Just check to see if the user has been created in the last few seconds/minutes or not.

if current date/time < result of step # user’s created date+(seconds) 60 -> Treat as new user
if current date/time > result of step # user’s created date+(seconds) 60 -> Treat as existing user.

Evidently that’s what i came up with as well.

Would be good if there was simply a condition that restricted the action “If A User Was Returned In Step X” @Bubble
