About setting and getting list of items

#1

Hi,
I am new here and so exicted to use Flow XO. It is so amazing so far. However, I am facing a problem when trying to set a general attribute that should be exist all the time with list of items.
In other words, is there a way to store e.g. user ids in an attribute, then checking within a condition, if a user is on the list or not?
Thank you and I really appreciate your support.

Hi @Wadee3 welcome to FlowXO!

When you’re working with flows, you’re mostly working with outputs - so if you’re setting the attribute at the beginning of the flow you should be able to use that throughout.

For example, if you’re connecting a bot, and you want to store the attribute such as User ID, you can grab the User ID from the first interaction and store it as an attribute - then you’re able to use a condition such as ‘if {attribute} is not blank’.

If you want to share some more details with your flow I might be able to give you a slightly more specific user, or I’m sure Kelley or John will be along shortly with a better formed answer :wink:

Hi Wadee,

Attributes wouldn’t actually be a good solution for this because they are designed to store short pieces of information. I think the character limit is around 200.

You would be best using Google Sheet or similar However, Google Sheet has a limit of 1000 rows for our search integration.

Great!
I think I should go with Google sheet. It looks fine for me.

Thank you @joe & @kellseyshaw for your kind support.

Wadee
