Loop and paginations

Hi!
I’m new in the community and I’m having some issues building a scenario.
The situation is as follows:
1-I have a RecruiterFlow account with +2500 client records
2-I receive a webhook with some information, from where I extract a company name
3-I need to look through the records in RF, through an API call.
4-Once the record is found, create an airtable record
5-If the record is not found in the first search, loop and go to the following pages. The thing is, RF allows for only up to 100 records to be brought every time, and I need to search through many pages for a certain record to be pulled up.

Hence, I need to somehow loop the workflow, where in the HTTP request to RF, the page number is +1 each time the loop is re run
The HTTP apui request for RF requests the page number be configured, in order to run it, so I’m a bit lost.

I have the workflow but get stuck after the first run (when result is not found). i added a SET VARIABLE ({{add(14.current_page; 1)}}) but dont know how to loop back.

Any ideas?
Thank you all!!

Welcome to the Make community!

To do this, you can try using the Flow Control “Repeater” module.

For more information about the Repeater module and Flow Control app, see the corresponding Integrations page and the Help Centre documentation.

For more information, please refer to these courses in the Make Academy:

Pagination - retrieving all data from APIs

  • What is Pagination?
  • Pagination - total number of items known
  • Pagination - total number of items unknown
  • Pagination - Offset
  • Practice Pagination

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues. P.S.: investing some effort into the tutorials in the Make Academy will save you lots of time and frustration using Make!

Thank you so much!!!
I think I was not correctly understanding how to paginate, hence the repeater was not giving back the correct results.
Now it’s working :slight_smile:
