default value as input to line itemizer

Hello,

I have a workflow where I write new rows to a google sheet when a woocommerce order is created / updated. Part of that workflow involves passing the woocommerce tax lines info through an line itemizer.

The challenge I'm facing is there are some instances where an order is placed where no tax is applied at all. When this happens the tax lines are not sent to pabbly and the line itemizer that is using that info fails, creating in a cascade of failures that results in a half baked workflow. I want to somehow create a "default value" as an input to the line itemizer. However from testing it seems like the inputs to a line itemizer must be from a trigger. I have been unsuccessful manfully creating something the line itemizer would accept, even copying the exact text from a working line item array does not work.

I realize i can create default values for all the outputs of the line itemizer but that seems inefficient as there may be many lines coming out of the itemizer. it also results in all workflows being labeled as partially failed, even if the downstream default values work properly and the workflow technically was successful..


Any advice or workaround?

Thank you!

Hey @Petram PVC

Can you please record a short video on your concern about how you are trying to pass the Tax data field in your workflow?
 
hello,

Thanks for your reply!

My apoligies, I don't think I was clear on what I was asking. I will rephrase:

What can I do to prevent the workflow from failing if the input to a line itemizer is missing from the trigger?

Thank you,

Hey @Petram PVC

You can use the Filter action step after the trigger event to check if any entity from your trigger response is not coming and needs to stop.
