Hello everybody, My problem is that I want to use getmembergroups()

Hello everybody,

My problem is that I want to use getmembergroups() and other group functions on a rule input based on Group ID.
If the Group ID does not exists this throws an exception.

does anybody know any Appian Function that checks if Group Id exists ?
I know about the isusermemberofgroup() but this works only for usernames and I want to test if a group Id exists

Thank you,

fn!doesGroupExist() in the 'Group Functions' plugin at forum.appian.com/.../summary should do the job for you as per my knowledge.

Thank you very much for your swift response, this is certainly a good solution!! However, this post is about a solution that uses a standard Appian function or a combination of standard Appian function to do the job.

@samartzisg Ah I see., unfortunately there isn't any OOTB function to check the existence of the many types of objects (such as Group, Document, Folder etc) based on the id. We need to depend on the plugins for time-being as per my knowledge.

As Sikhi has said, there's not a way to do this out-of-the-box. We almost always install the Group Functions plugin as it provides a lot of functions that are otherwise unavailable out-of-the-box, and we often supplement that plugin with the People Functions plugin as well: forum.appian.com/.../summary
