How to check if an XML element exists?

[David_Hernandez2 (David Hernandez)]

Currently I need to check if the “error” element exists, unsure how to do so though.

Hi @David_Hernandez2,
please try below
XML_Result_Variable.Root.Descendants(“errormessage”).First().Value
check and update if you still face issue.

Use the Deserialize XML Activity provided by the UiPath.WebApi.Activities Package and get returned an XDocument Variable -e.g. with variable name xDoc

The following statement will return true (when found) or false (when not exists)

xDoc.Root.Descendants("error").Any()
