How can I make a switch for cases when a query parameter is null?
I have a workflow and sometimes some of the query parameters are null or not existing, how can I handle this so the workflow doesn't fail?

Ok, managed to fix it, I used chatgpt to change the get query node function to give it a default value.

To handle scenarios where query parameters might be null or non-existent in your workflow and prevent it from failing, you can utilize some of the techniques available in BuildShip:
1. Use Default Values: Ensure that when you access query parameters, you set default values in case the parameters are missing. This can prevent runtime errors if the parameter doesn't exist.
2. Conditional Checks: Implement conditional nodes such as "Branch (If Else)" to evaluate whether a parameter is null or not. Depending on the condition, you can define alternative paths or default behaviors to avoid execution errors【4:11†buildship-docs.json】.
3. Validation Logic: Incorporate input validation logic in your workflow nodes to check for null or undefined values. If a parameter is null, you can handle it by either setting a default value or skipping certain actions that depend on the parameter【4:11†buildship-docs.json】.
By employing these methods, you ensure that your workflow remains robust and can handle varying input conditions gracefully. For further details on handling node inputs and customization, you might want to check BuildShip's documentation on Node Inputs and Handling Node Failures.
