Issue with Creating Active Cycle Cutting Workflow Short
Why can't I create an active cycle here ? it would've completed my workflow
Conditional runs in Clay allow you to create active cycles by adding programmable logic to your workflows. Here's how they work: 1. They execute specific actions or enrichments only when certain conditions are met 2. You can set up custom conditional runs by: • Adding a new enrichment • Clicking on "Run Settings" and then "Conditional Run" • Using AI to generate specific formulas for your conditionsThe main benefits for your workflow include: ** Optimizing credit usage by running enrichments only when necessary ** Ensuring you get the most relevant data for each contact * Creating highly customized data workflows that match your specific needs Sources: AI Formulas + Conditional Runs [Clay 101] - Clay University Conditional runs | Documentation | Clay University

Harkin··I even tried to write from an n8n webhook but it still says the same thing : https://app.clay.com/workspaces/16336/workbooks/wb_nQUk5WEmAzRY/tables/t_Jk2A23Qxwgqj/views/gv_SUgMipZcDtoi
Hey there, thanks for reaching out! ☺️ I had a look at your tables and it seems you have created an infinite loop by sending data from Table A to Table B, from Table B to C and from Table C back to Table A or B. A proper setup would entail Table A sending data to Table B, and then Table B sending data to Table C. If you would like to keep your structure, a workaround is to utilize a tool like Zapier/Make/n8n to output data and then send it to a different table via webhook to prevent loops. Let me know if you need additional help to organize your tables. Hope this was helpful :)

Hi thanks for the response, I tried the n8n method, but somehow clay still knows its a loop : https://app.clay.com/workspaces/16336/workbooks/wb_nQUk5WEmAzRY/tables/t_Jk2A23Qxwgqj/views/gv_SUgMipZcDtoi

how is this possible ?
Hey, because you write from "Evolution" to "Output loop" and back from "Output loop" and n8n back to "Evolution". As a workaround, what you can do is write the data to a new table and do a lookup to "Evolution". Would that work?
- Harkin··
ok let me try this
Nice. Let me know how it goes, and happy to dive deeper :)
- Harkin··
no this wont work, if i do lookup it will replace the exisitng row of data
- Harkin··
I guess i will just have to build this fully on n8n
Could you share a bit more context about your use case or details so I can guide you in the right direction? I'm also a user of n8n so this should be actually feasible with Clay :)

I am scraping the suggested for you profiles from an instagram profile using apify and adding them into the "Evaluation" sheet for icp scoring, any profile that fits my ICP i write it to "Output loop" and then scrape that profiles Suggested profiles using apify and sending it back to "Evaultion" for ICP scoring, Its basically a lookalike loop workflow, because the Suggested profiles are a great way to find lookalike profiles on instagram
- Harkin··
please let me know if that makes sense
That's feasible at first glance. What do you want to do with the suggested profiles? Send a message saying "Hey, I saw your profile was suggested from [YOUR ICP]?" If so, the approach would be: Output Loop: ICP fit - Apify Scrape New table: all Apify suggested profiles of all ICP fits - create lookup single row to Output Loop - create column from original ICP fit with name Would that work?
