Contains Data action using Microsoft Flow

A lot has changed in the way Dynamics 365 workflows are created and this is the first of many posts to follow. One of the most common actions that we perform on using Workflows in Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement is to check a condition, if a record field "Contains Data" or "Does Not Contain Data", which is not available when you create the workflow using Microsoft Flow.

So the question arises, is this even possible? Yes, it is. This is how you do it - step by step.


  1. Create a Built-in Condition step.
  2. Add your dynamics field (like "Created On"), in the "Choose a Value" box.
  3. Select the option "is equal to" in the next box.
  4. In the last box "Choose a Value", select Expression
  5. Type "null" in the fx (function) box, and select OK.
  6. In the "If no" branch, perform your "contains data" action.
  7. In the "If yes" branch, perform your "does not contain data" action.
