Dynamic Batch Processing with Conditional Iteration Control
detail.loadingPreview
This workflow demonstrates how to generate simulated data, process it item by item, and apply conditional logic based on the item's position within the batch. It highlights advanced control flow for managing iterations and triggering specific actions at predefined points in a sequence.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow showcases robust data processing capabilities, starting with the generation of 10 simulated data items using a Function node. These items are then processed individually using the SplitInBatches node, allowing for granular control over each piece of data. A key feature is the IF node, which applies conditional logic based on the currentRunIndex of the item within the batch. This enables the workflow to perform different actions for specific iterations, such as signaling a "Loop Ended" message when the 6th item (index 5) is encountered. This setup is ideal for scenarios requiring precise control over iterative tasks and conditional branching within batch operations.
Key Features
- Dynamic Data Generation: Easily create simulated datasets for testing or rapid prototyping using custom JavaScript.
- Granular Batch Processing: Process large datasets one item at a time, ensuring detailed control and error handling for each record.
- Index-Based Conditional Logic: Implement sophisticated decision-making based on the current item's position within a batch or loop.
- Customizable Workflow Control: Define specific actions or messages to trigger when certain conditions or iteration milestones are met.
- Flexible Iteration Handling: Adapt workflow behavior based on the processing stage of iterative tasks.
How To Use
- Start the Workflow: Initiate the process by clicking 'Execute Workflow' on the 'On clicking 'execute'' node.
- Generate Data: The 'Function' node will create 10 sample data items, each assigned an incremental index (0-9).
- Process in Batches: The 'SplitInBatches' node will then process these items individually, one after another.
- Apply Conditional Logic: The 'IF' node will evaluate the
currentRunIndexfor each item as it passes through.- When
currentRunIndexis exactly 5 (the 6th item), the workflow branches to the 'Set' node. - For other items, the workflow continues its iteration.
- When
- Identify Milestone: The 'Set' node, activated for the item with
currentRunIndex5, will add a new field named 'Message' with the value "Loop Ended", marking a specific point in the batch processing.
