Formula for Handling Timeout in Another Column

·

Hey, I'd like to make a run condition if another column (a https api) times out. Is there a formula I can use for this?

Hey Ryane, thanks for the message! Taking a look... while the formula currently can't pick up the "Times out" message, you could instead give it a condition so that the other column only runs if this HTTP column has no results/is empty

Thanks, but the issue with that is wont it run for all leads before the http is attempted?

What column did you want to condition this based on the timed out? I'll add a length > 0 condition so it checks if it's empty or not

I see, well, it depends on what you wanted to achieve with the condition. If you want a column to run when the previous one is empty (timed out and thus no results), here's one that I use the AI generator to create, to run only if this returns true: Object.values({{MillionVerifier}})?.some(value => value !== "")
