Workflow Help - Branch based on ea mpty property

I’m looking for help with a simple workflow. The workflow should do as follows:
1. Trigger when someone fills our form “Newsletter”

2. Add contact to a static list called “Newsletter sign-ups”

Branch

3a. If lead source is empty

3a. Set lead source to “Inbound - Newsletter”
3b. If lead source is NOT empty

3b. End

Does anyone know how to use a general search for contain rather than a specific string? It’s strange that it’s so easy to do this filtering in lists and reporting but not in Workflows.

Hi @ERejto

You’ll need to use and if/then branch.

Filter by your property and the “is unknown” operator, then set your value on this branch and do nothing on the other one.

Also, word of advice - do not add these contacts to a static list, but rather use the opt-in to the subscription type from the form (assuming you are setting one) as a filter in an active list. That makes handling subscribers a lot easier because it is automatic rather than having to manually or semi-automatically manage a static list.

Awesome, thanks for the help. Here is the final workflow to close the loop!!

Noted on the active list filter, my goal here is to understand how many leads a newsletter pop-up creates in a month on our webpage. I thought it would be easy enough to just track the number and who in a static list. I track all subscribers/marketing contacts in a different active list.
I guess it would have been simple enough to run an active list after the month was over also!
