Iterator within another Iterator - Problem with Operation not staying the same

How To
1

Hi All,

I’m experiencing issues with iterators in my automation flow. The number of operations changes throughout the flow, and when I try to close the last iterator loop, it retains the last module’s number of operations instead of the original count. This occurs despite the entire flow using different operations.

There are three main loops/iterations:

  1. Calendar Info to Iteration:
  • This iteration goes through multiple processes.
  • Within the main loop, there’s a second loop.
  • The flow continues with a module that gradually reduces the number of operations (which is expected).

The issue is that the subsequent module relies on the previous module’s reduced number of operations to perform its task, rather than maintaining the main operation count.

Here’s an example after a run:

  • Module 552 (Problem Module) is pulling information from Modules 593 and 187, as well as some earlier modules.
    I tried putting an aggregator AND tried with a filter to close the loop but it still get the same issue with the number of operation

It’s really hard to see what the module numbers are in your screenshots, because they are so tiny.

You’ll need to at minimum provide the scenario blueprint if you require help.

To allow others 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.

You can upload images here using the Upload icon in the text editor:

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”.

A. Upload as Text File

Save each bundle contents in your text editor as a bundle.txt file, and upload it here into this discussion thread.

B. Insert as Formatted Code Block

If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles.
These are the two ways to format text so that it won’t be modified by the forum:

  • Method 1: Type code block manually

    Add three backticks ``` before and after the content/bundle, like this:

    ```
    content goes here
    ```

  • Method 2. Highlight and click the format button in the editor

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!

Do you need any other information @samliew ?

Hey @Flip_Flop_Bots

The problem is not with the iteration. Out of 17 bundles, 8 are failed that are ignored by the “ignore” error handler and the remaining 9 success passed further.
