New Loop Setting Feature: Don't Increment on Empty Row

  • Live

I'm finding loops to be more and more essential to some of the more advanced automations I'm working on - I think a feature that would be beneficial is an option (could be a checkbox) in the loop settings for the project that would have TaskMagic NOT increment the loop count if the row/data returned is empty, but instead to leave the count the same so it can try the same row again on its next check.

This would allow other automations to continue dumping new rows of data in to a sheet, and TM wouldn't miss them on its next run to process that loop/sheet row.

Can this be a check/filter made maybe in the Apps builder that starts an automation to run? What if you could trigger any automation to run via webhook instead of only webhook automations that way the apps builder can ping the loop automation to start once you know theres data?

That would be very powerful! I think the only thing I'm trying to wrap my head around with this approach is how to have the automation loop properly after triggered to run through the new rows added (i.e. if 3 new rows were added, have it process all 3 and then wait for next trigger - if only 1, process the 1, etc).
