Check if a field is filled

The Check if a Field is Filled robot checks whether a field of a Bitrix24 (Alaio) CRM entity — a deal, contact, company or lead — has a value. The inputs are the entity type, its ID and the field code. It returns an is_filled flag with the value Y if the field is non-empty, otherwise N, plus the current field value. Use it for a business process conditional branch.

The robot opens the CRM entity by type and ID, reads the specified field and determines whether it is filled. The inputs are: the entity type (deal, contact, company or lead), the entity ID and the field code — this can be a standard or a custom field. The outputs are: is_filled — a flag of Y if the field is non-empty, otherwise N (an empty string and the value "0" count as not filled), and value — the current field value; for multiple fields the values are joined with a comma. Use it to make sure before a deal stage change that the tax ID or the responsible person is filled, to stop a card without a required field from moving forward, or to route the process down the right branch depending on whether the data is present. If the parameters are invalid or the entity is not found, the robot returns is_filled N and an empty value. The is_filled flag is convenient to compare in the condition of the next step of the business process.
