How to return values in an array if another value is true?

[greco26]

No problem. Thank you so much! If you can also help me better understand how to implement a filter to control the iterations, that would be great as well. I wasn't able to understand clearly from your post I mentioned earlier in this thread. thx!

Certainly. Here are 2. I have many more if needed.

Task History ID -

We couldn't find the empty data in the history of the task where you are getting the empty response from Google Sheets.

Further, we can see in the Google Sheets: Lookup SpreadSheets Row action step you arent getting the data that you have mapped in the API by Pabbly action step and that's why you are API by Pabbly request wasn't running.

Also, for a better understanding of the Fitler action step, you can refer to the following video lesson.

@Supreme
Perhaps I have not explained the issues to you properly therefore I have created 2 videos to show you (part 1 cut off so I had to continue with part 2 video). Also, I understand how to use Pabbly Filter however please refer to an earlier post in this thread about the context I was looking to use it in with relation to Iiterator. I have included this issue in my following videos.

Thats unfortunate as I feel like I'm so close to getting it to work. I will look to hire someone I suppose. In the meantime, can you help explain this post of yours in more detail as I believe this something I need to understand as well.

How to break the Iterator? How many steps are iterated/looped after the 'Iterator' action?

I have created one 'Iterator' action in Pabbly Connect, and now I've 5 different steps/actions just after this 'Iterator' action/step in my workflow. So will it loop/iterate through just 1 action just after the 'Iterator' action or all 5 actions just after the 'Iterator' action will be iterated...

The Iterator action step in Pabbly Connect is created to operate by continuously retrieving data from the specified source until there is no more data left to receive one by one. The iterator will keep running until it has obtained all information accessible.

The next action(s) in the process will be started once the iterator has started retrieving data one at a time that is currently available. The iterator can also be set to halt after a predetermined number of iterations or when a particular condition is satisfied with the help of the Filter action step.

Can you explain this filter action step and how to use it to control the Iterator’s predetermine number of iterations? This is the basis of my question. Thanks!

For a better understanding of the Filter action step, you can refer to the following video tutorial.

Further, if you are looking for a workaround to use Filter along with the Iterator step you can recommend hiring an automation expert who can create or manage the filter condition according to your iterations.

Really? @Supreme? I just need an explanation on how to control the looping that Iterator does in conjunction with using Pabbly Filter as you referenced in a similar discussion with someone else looking for the same. I've been using Iterator and Filter independently just fine. What is not discussed within any video that I can find, including all the generic ones you send, is how to control the looping of Iterator by using Filter expecially when I need to run 2 Iterator instances within the same workflow. That is all I need to know at this point. I dont understand why I have to hire an expert just for them to explain to me how combining the two features can control the looping. Thats really bad tech support if thats the case. I started this ticket June 6th and I am still trying to get answers but I feel like I keep getting blown off.

The Iteration logic and the filter step always depend on the user's use case, so it is not possible to cover all the n number of logic in a single video. Since you have a different logic to stop the iteration with a certain condition and that's why we have recommended you to prefer to get in touch with an expert who can build the specific logic according to your need. Our scope of support is limited to help resolve the error and bugs for all our customers.

@greco26 Were you able to get this solved?
Instead of exporting to Google Sheets, could you use Router after the iterator step to "If isUS = 1" then have the Conig value post via API?

Can you please create a new thread and elaborate on your concern briefly, so that we can look into it?

I don't need you to look in to anything. I was responding to greco26 to see if I could help him.
