Until

Description

The Until action allows a Flow to iterate through a list of actions. The input for the Until action is:

• A number with the maximum iterations allowed. This quantity has an internal restriction up to 1000 iterations. If this field is not set, the default value will be 1000.
• A stop condition. A set of filters that determines if the until action should continue to run. A detailed guide about the filters can be found here.

Once the Until action is set in the flow, you can add internal actions by clicking on the plus icon. Actions can be sorted using drag & drop functionality.

Internal references

Internal actions are those which are part of the Until action and they are executed sequentially. These actions have access to reference output results from other internal actions.

Output

No output is provided.

Nesting

The naming convention for nested Until actions is substepX_X, where the second X represents the nesting level.

The only exception to this naming convention is the first nesting level, where the name used continues to be substepX to avoid breaking changes.

For example:

• substep1 represents the substep 1 of the nesting level number 1.
• substep1_2 represents the substep 1 of the nesting level number 2.
• substep3_4 represents the substep 3 of the nesting level number 4.

Limitations

• It is possible to nest up to 5 loop actions (ForEach or Until actions) within each other. However, there are no limitations about the maximum number of loop actions in a Flow.
• It is not possible to reference an internal action output in actions outside the Until action.
• Currently there is no possibility to pick data from the last iteration of Until action in templating help. However it is possible reference the last iteration results using substepX.Y, being substepX the nesting level and Y the property that we want to reference.
