Automation keeps looping - please advise

What are you trying to achieve?

I’m trying to autopost images from Google Drive. Everything seems te be set up correctly but the automation keeps looping and starts from the beginning multiple times.

I’ve read that an Aggregator can


Publish from Google Drive.blueprint.json (146.1 KB)
be used to stop this, but I don’t fully understand how. Can someone please advise?

Steps taken so far

Adding filters and aggegators

Hi 13as, you don’t need the aggregator, it seems that your problem is that you are using the Search files/folder module with a polling trigger that runs every 15 minutes. This module searches for files every time it runs, and if there is a file that matches the search, new or old, it will grab it and run the whole scenario with it

If you want the scenario only to run from start to finish when a new file is added to the Google Drive folder, you should use the Watch files in a Folder module

Set it to look for files from now on

This module will continue the scenario only when a new file is found in the Google Drive folder; if no new files are found, it will stop there

Thanks for the quick reply Jonathan!
I made the changes you suggested, unfortunately it doesn’t seem to solve the problem. The first module keeps showing a “loading icon” and keeps active. After all modules are done the 5th module is triggered for a 2nd time and triggers all the following modules. I had to force stop it again.

Could you maybe have a second look? I’m open for suggestions

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Try setting up the Search Rows module correctly, it’s the module that is bringing more than one bundle. Configure your filter here instead of outside of the module to return only the first row that matches your criteria. You can limit the bundles returned, so if you want only one bundle returned, set limit to 1. That way, it will only run one time (if it does find a match)

That did the trick. Thanks a lot! :grin::+1:
