Hi, happy to help! Can you provide more context on which column exactly receives the loop error? Also, if it helps, you can use the record screen feature located below to provide more details. [App: Screen Recording by Birdie]

Hey, I noticed a small error in the query endpoint. To help you out, I went ahead and created a duplicate HTTP integration for you to review. Feel free to delete it if needed. Hope this resolves the issue for you! 😊 https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1216450629/149811832486ccad8668ec03e25c/Arc_mOYMekLffL.png?expires=1728991800&signature=61eb477dae705b039a22bb3b836ab5330dd7ce4402f2b491f25bca5a76b404a1&req=dSImEM17nYddUPMW1HO4zWUUPpkDB7V8PQ9%2FQLRI%2BcspGfw4ryVO6AsoMElY%0AjuGB%0A

Hey Daniel, that didn't work, the endpoint works correctly, when I try to set a conditional saying if x column equals this, then dont run, but I keep getting that infinite loop

Hey, thanks for reaching out! 😊 The infinite loop is happening because you’re referencing the same column in the formula, which causes it to keep running. It’s like saying, “If A runs, run A,” which creates the loop. Can you let me know exactly what you’re trying to achieve here? I can suggest a different approach that avoids this issue!

I dont want any other row to run, if "Campaign ID Status Result" returns "Already Sent"
Jonathan G.

it doesn't seem to be working with any column

It's because you're referencing that exact column in your enrichment. Here's the screenshot :) https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1217435796/7cb2aebe4c8e202d27ec68fdaf53/CleanShot+2024-10-16+at+_09kNx3LG6f%402x.png?expires=1729045800&signature=b3fec98380e59b4846ab93c3eb181b9de2a3b0ca949e5c8a409f9c549e33ad52&req=dSImEc19mIZWX%2FMW1HO4zTio52P1HeqyajO2%2BsdJaiW2ZtTpkVGmx4ioIQhg%0A%2BTCs%0A https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1217435784/f5e2f13cf110b0a04c93f977da62/CleanShot+2024-10-16+at+_41XxcGGI3h%402x.png?expires=1729045800&signature=6aea23c53675df83bc3f0a606d9cd28b035d19823de6bc895ee2d58837e28ec3&req=dSImEc19mIZXXfMW1HO4zdrS8MIr5ZDpOwh9M%2FjsAPAZOFfH%2Fu0n%2BQKnXiyk%0AzaOt%0A

ahhhh
Jonathan G.
·
·
whats a workaround?
Jonathan G.
·
·
this used to be at the end of the table...but then I realized I can have it in the front and save all those api calls and enrichments
Bo (.

There’s no workaround for this issue, unfortunately. Infinite loops can’t be bypassed and are usually correct when flagged. What I recommend is using variables from the HTTP API directly and referencing them in your next prompts. Instead of using this on the “Retrieve Client,” apply it to the subsequent enrichment steps—this will save API calls. For example, the Retrieve Client step is just a simple Supabase call, which costs nothing. But for steps like AI enrichment that do cost, you can apply the condition you were trying to add. This approach will help avoid unnecessary API usage while keeping everything efficient. Let me know if you need more clarification! 😊 https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1217439445/76dffcec3c8f71d09d4e0ba463ff/CleanShot+2024-10-16+at+_50NYBVd7dY%402x.png?expires=1729045800&signature=4fbb90727cc6cfd1837d8315379d7cb6b5f699c60e260ec118cd9a0b71c0ac27&req=dSImEc19lIVbXPMW1HO4zSwTfIQKgoNB3Q6pqI8nltHjFWBEHWWJLgCn7yw9%0A3Rpj%0A
