Hello guys, the requirements is quire seems to be easy: If an Alert has come - > create an Incident. If on the same day same alert comes - > Update the Incident.
So, I have an Alert rule creates Incident (using the OOB subflow cloned version of Create Incident)
The Problem: in the flow I have a Lookup Record Action. With a conditon to check the Incident table, if there is a Record "Created today" and the "Short description" hard coded, comes from Alert.
By clickink on "Test" the flow I have the result:
-> If there is already an Incident record, I'm ok it seems, the flow continues - I can update the existing Incident.
BUT, if record not found, no such an Incident yet, (In this case I wish to create a new Incident) The Lookup Record Action simple just drops an Error, and does not go further... See screenshot above the IF condition does not run.
Why is that? How can I achieve that if the Lookup does not find anything, then create a record? Maybe the question would be why "Error" is the state if a Lookup record is not found? How can I avoid this? That is normal in our case there will be no record, but wish the flow continue then.
Any help welcome, thanks!

Hi,
I'd suggest you do use "look up record(s)" in a way similar to this:
And don't forget to mark correct and helpful if this helps.
Thanks
