Condition with variable

Hi,

 

is it possible to use the paths for advanced conditions?
Say if somebody submits a google forms form, I need to submit a REST request to my own service to see if an user with the email (which was submitted via one of the form fields) exists. IF he exists, run path A and submit another request, if not, run path B with another action,.

 

I’ve tried to use conditions, but there’s no way to compare a value from the first action with the response from the action2

Hi @DanielF 

Yep, this should definitely be possible. You’d add the webhook->GET request immediately before the path.

You’d then be able to construct the path A/B filters off what gets returned by the webhook step.
