Automate Iterative Processes with Conditional Logic
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your repetitive tasks with this n8n workflow. It demonstrates how to generate a series of items and apply conditional logic to control their processing, enabling sophisticated automation for iterative processes.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow elegantly automates iterative processes by combining data generation, batch processing, and conditional logic. It begins with a manual trigger, followed by a Function node that generates 10 new items. These items are then split into individual batches by the 'SplitInBatches' node. An 'IF' node inspects the current run index of each batch. If the index reaches 5, a 'Set' node is triggered to output a 'LoopEnded' message. Otherwise, the workflow continues to process subsequent batches, allowing for precise control over loop termination or continuation. This setup is ideal for scenarios requiring controlled repetition and conditional exit points.
Key Features
- Manual Trigger: Initiate your automated process with a simple click.
- Dynamic Data Generation: Create multiple data items on the fly.
- Batch Processing: Efficiently handle data items in manageable chunks.
- Conditional Logic: Implement 'IF' statements to control workflow execution based on specific criteria.
- Customizable Termination: Define clear exit conditions for your loops.
How To Use
- Manual Trigger: Start by clicking the 'On clicking 'execute'' node to manually begin the workflow.
- Generate Data: The 'Function' node creates 10 new data items, each containing an index
i. - Batch Items: Use the 'SplitInBatches' node with
batchSize: 1to process each generated item individually. - Apply Conditional Logic: Configure the 'IF' node. Set
value1to={{$node["SplitInBatches"].context["currentRunIndex"];}}andoperationtoequalwithvalue2as5. This checks if the current batch index is 5. - Conditional Action: If the condition in the 'IF' node is true (index is 5), connect it to the 'Set' node to output the 'LoopEnded' message. If false, the workflow would continue processing subsequent batches (though the provided snippet doesn't show a continuation path for the 'false' branch).
- Observe Output: Review the output of the 'Set' node or any subsequent nodes to see the results of your conditional iteration.
