Flow Control: Do...While function

Cor Schutte

Hello,

Please can you look into a do...while function. This would be very useful with many api's pagination and for asynchronous actions where you need to check the status before continuing a scenario.

------------------------------

BESTPRACTICE:

One of the possible workarounds is as follows:

Insert the
Flow Control > Repeater
module before the sequence of modules that should be repeated until a specific condition is met. Fill the maximum number of repetitions in the
Repeats
field.
Append the
Tools > Set a variable
module at the end of the sequence to set a
Skip
variable to
true
.
Place a filter before this module to pass only when the condition to end the repetitions is met.
Insert the
Tools > Get a variable
module right after the
Repeater
and configure it to fetch the
Skip
variable.
Finally insert a filter after the
Tools > Get a variable
module to proceed only if the
Skip
variable is not
true
.

Please note that as the

Tools > Get a variable

module is executed for each repetition, the number of operations this workaround consumes will be equal to the number you specified in the

Repeater

Repeats

field plus all the operations consumed by the repeatedly executed sequence of modules.

With the HTTPv4's pagination feature, this feature request is not so crucial now. However, it would be nice to have a "delay" option between fetching pages to avoid rate-limiting.

Does that workaround work? If so, I guess one motivating factor for make to

not

create a do-while type loop tool is that these workarounds cost more credits in our scenarios.

Scott Swain

Still not implemented???

Andrew Lisi

Any update on this? This makes many creating many scenarios very difficult without this basic function.

Viktor Kacenak

How is this not implemented yet? This is crazy

Still can't believe this isn't implemented. Every time I'm doing something that requires pagination I end up slamming my head on my desk because I need to come up with some idiotic workaround.

Merged in a post:

Do/While of the Repeater - Complementary Module of the Repeater.

Pedro Vaz

To handle a conditional, a complementary module for the repeater needs to be created.
Example:
I have a repeater before a route.
I have a route with 2 paths =>
Filter: if the status of the Run is different from "Completed," follow Path 1: Sleep for 5 seconds.
Filter: if the status of the Run is "Completed," follow Path 2: Send data via HTTP => "Repeater's finalization module."

So true.

Such a pain without it when working with Slack users

Any update on this?
