Get Appeal

Bailey Moroney

Is there the ability to get the appeal into your flow and acknowledgment template? I tried a similar expression and steps from getting the fund description, but it didn't work.

Hi Bailey,

What issue were you running into? I double checked and was able to pull in the Appeal Description and was able to do so in a similar method as fund description. The caveat is, however, that if a gift isn't tied to an Appeal, no appeal information shows up in the gift_splits area. You'd need to do a check first to see if an Appeal exists before trying to Get Appeal or that part of the flow will fail out.

Expounding a bit on @Glen Hutson response, you can write an expression that checks if the Appeal field is blank and to populate it with a blank string to prevent it from failing or add some form of conditional branching to handle the gifts that have appeals and those that don't have appeals separately.

Matt beat me to it. Here's one example of doing the check. In case it's not showing up correctly, in the condition, Use Expression item()['gift_splits'][0]?['appeal_id'] (note the "?") in the left Choose a Value. Use the expression null in the right Choose a Value .
