Validate Database Data in Action Step

I have Validate action step and database insert action sptep
It works great but when the validate condition (does if database exist) is true the actios step is stopped
Why ? @Teodor

I am not sure i understand your question.
What have you set up and what is the issue exactly?

this is my situation:
action steps:

Validation Data Action Step works fine but when it finds a repeated or duplicated email stops !

example:

email1 (inserted correctly)
email2 (inserted correctly)
email3 (inserted correctly)
email2 (not inserted and action step stops)
email4 (not inserted)
email5 (not inserted)

ok ?

Well of course it will stop when the value exists in the database … what do you expect to happen?

I would like the Action Step continues inserting the followings emails (ex: email4, email5 …) !

The idea of validate step is to stop processing of the server action if it finds an existing record. Same as your form doesn’t submit if you have validation errors. :slight_smile:

What are you trying to achieve?

I want Validate Step to skip to the next email when it finds an existing record

Then don’t use a validation step for this.

In the repeat step add a database query and filter it by email from the API repeat - check if the record equals the email column of the query.

Then add a condition step and check if query1.length < 1 where query1 is your query name.

Then > Run the insert
Else > Leave empty
