How to Retry a Gemini Module Until Output Is Valid (With a Conditional Break)

[Aanchal_Madan]

I’m trying to build a loop in Make where a Google Gemini module keeps retrying until it returns a valid output.

Right now, Gemini sometimes returns a null, incomplete, or incorrect response. I’m checking the output using a text parser and a few conditions. If those conditions fail, it means Gemini didn’t generate the required output. Also, please note Gemini module doesn’t throw error in such cases.

What I want is:
If the output is invalid → retry Gemini again, and keep retrying until the output is correct.

I tried using the Repeater module, but it always repeats a fixed number of times and I couldn’t find a way to break the loop once the output becomes valid. I’ve been stuck on this for a week.

Is there a way to build a retry loop with a conditional break in Make?
Or is there another pattern/module I should be using to achieve this behavior?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hey there,

you can’t create a do-until loop inside a scenario unfortunately (or any loop for that matter).

What you can try is create a subscenario that keeps retriggering itself until the output is valid and then returns it to the main scenario.

Hmm… so no way to achieve this?

To achieve a “loop” with your repeater module, you need to “close” the loop with an aggregator module.

To “break” out of a “loop”, you’ll need to use a module to throw an error, to proceed down an error route.
