Turnstile / loop counter in a subflow?

ILYA STEIN · 3 weeks ago

I am designing a subflow that needs to perform up to a specified number of checks for a condition. Looking for an approach that will be equivalent to a workflow turnstile, or a counter to use in the loop. Any recommendations?

Hi @ILYA STEIN ,

You can build a turnstile / loop counter in a subflow by giving it an integer input like max_attempts, initializing a flow variable counter to zero, using a Do Until loop that checks counter < max_attempts (or until your condition is met), incrementing the counter each pass, and then outputting whether the condition ever succeeded along with how many attempts were used...
