How to stop flow/task execution if researcher cant find any results?

[ddowie]

Hi there,
do you maybe know a good way how to stop the flow / task execution when researcher crew can't find any relevant information about the given topic?

In that scenario crew creates pydantic object with values:
{
key1: I couldn't find anything usefull
key2: I couldn't find anything usefull
}
and passes it to the next crew just to rewrite it "didnt find anything"

Btw I watched your video yesterday and it was great! You inspired me and today I made simple API that is returning crewai flow response so I can use it from my website.

I managed to stop execution of tasks/flow.

This is current solution:

• each task returns pydantic object where property "can_continue_execution" is set via prompt (for example if researched person exists i want to stop immediately)
• next task in the same crew is type of ConditionalTask and checks if output.pydantic.can_continue_execution is True. If false, it stops and passes the same pydantic object to the first task of the next crew. There I check again if property "can_continue_execution" is False and stop the flow.

Maybe not the best solution but it works. I guess using @router() decorator and conditional approach testing the flow state would be better. I didn't have time yet to test it.
