'Skipping logic app connector
Hi i was wondering is there any possibility to skip or disable a logic app connector in a workflow?
I know the triggers sometimes skip a run if there is nothing to trigger the logic app. But is there a similar option regarding the workflow connectors like a checkbox or something like that?

YES. You just need to use a Condition and put the Action (connection oriented or not) in the True part. You do have to write the check yourself, [count of some array] > 0, or such.
There's no way for an Action to Skip itself and even the Skipped Trigger runs, it just doens't invoke when there's no output.

Not to my knowledge. You could add a condition in your Logic App definition and execute the connector (and following actions) only when the condition is met. In the false-branch you don't add that connector or set different logic.
You can also have a look at the "Run After"-option, which is where you specify when a connector should be executed, based on the result of the previous action.

If the action supports it, you could put the action into testing mode with a static success result. I use this to bypass email notifications that are only needed for testing.
