Our first version is going to allow you to loop over data from a webhook, google sheet etc. OR data from a scrape many / scrape urls.

This allows you to avoid things like whats described in this video
youtube.com/watch?v=Nrm3Z2ISb4k
Where it's separated into 2 automations.

Another version will be released ASAP that is allowing us to iterate over a list of elements. For example, I have 100 facebook friends and for each facebook friend I want to click "some" button next to them. Flows like that currently are not easily done

Ex. using Amazon.com or any product website
This is a big use case for most users. Imagine a website with rows of pages on it (Amazon.com). Pagination would allow you to scrape just the rows (products on the page then move to the next page). Supported nested loops would allow you to go into each row (product), scrape the content of that page (All product information) then move to the next row. Thanks!

This is 💯 needed.
