How to check for first run in an Iterator?

One automation I use is very slow on the first run, i.e. needs 20+ seconds to respond, but then it’s very fast. When I iterate over dozens of items, it always fails on the first run, then it runs smoothly after it resumes.

This could be handled with a simple delay for the 1st run, but I don’t know how to do this.

How to check for first run in a Iterator? I’d expect Bundle order position to do exactly that, but it always outputs 1 for each iterator run. Is this a bug?

Welcome to the Make community!

To allow us to assist you with your scenario, please provide the following:

1. Relevant Screenshots

Please share screenshots of your scenario, any error messages, relevant module fields, and filters in question? It would really help other community members to see what you’re looking at.

2. Scenario Blueprint

Please export the scenario blueprint file to allow others to view the mapped variables in the module fields. At the bottom of the scenario editor, you can click on the three dots to find the Export Blueprint menu item.

3. Output Bundles of Modules

Please provide the output bundles of the modules by running the scenario (or get from the scenario History tab), then click the white speech bubble on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.

Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario even if they do not use the external service.

Following these steps will allow others to assist you here. Thanks!

I’ve updated the screenshot to better illustrate what’s happening.
Also, attached the Scenario as JSON.
Thanks!
