How to create a status check loop for AssemblyA

Hi everyone, I’m testing AssemblyAI, and I’m having trouble managing the status check loop for transcription.

Here’s my workflow:

:one: I extract an audio URL from Google Sheets (the audio file is stored on Google Drive).
:two: I send the audio URL to AssemblyAI for transcription.
:three: I need to wait until the transcription is completed before saving it to Google Sheets.

Problem:
I want to create a status check loop that works like this:

If the status is “completed”, save the transcription to Google Sheets.
If the status is still “processing”, wait 1 minute and check again, up to 10 times.

Issue:
I can’t figure out how to loop back to a previous step in Make.com to repeat the status check. Since Make.com doesn’t allow direct module loops, I’m not sure how to proceed.

What options can I use to properly implement this loop in Make.com?
Thanks in advance for your help! :raised_hands:

Hi, I saw now on the guides that you can use the Wait until transcript is ready form now works!
