Auto-incrementing number on each iteration pass

I need to add an incrementing number, starting from 1, to a field and on each iteration I need the number to increase.

So, on the third iteration the number will be 3, on the seventh the number will be 7 and so on.

Hey Luke,

that would be the Increment Function module found under Tools.

Welcome to the Make community!

Try using the Tools “Increment function” module:

Returns a value of 1 after first run. Every subsequent run will increment the returned value by 1.

For more information, see https://www.make.com/en/integrations/util, and https://www.make.com/en/help/app/util in the help centre.

You can also try the Flow Control “Repeater” module:

You can imagine the Repeater module as a generator of bundles outputting one bundle after another. Each bundle contains one item named i of type Number. The initial value of the i item is specified in the Initial value field. The number of repetitions (= number of outputted bundles) is specified in the Repeats field. The value of the i item is increased in each repetition by the value specified in the Step field, which is 1 by default (tick the Show advanced settings checkbox to reveal it).

For more information, see https://www.make.com/en/integrations/builtin, and https://www.make.com/en/help/app/builtin in the help centre.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
