Automations: Looping Action

SmartSuite now supports a Looping action in automations, allowing you to repeat a group of actions for each item in a list—unlocking powerful iteration capabilities for dynamic workflows.
‍

Key Highlights

• Action Type: Looping – Executes a group of actions once for every item in a selected list.
• Advanced Logic Group: Appears under a new “Advanced Logic” section in the automation builder.
• Visual Container: Looping groups are styled differently and always appear as the final action block.
• Supported Inputs: Accepts lists from Find actions or Webhook actions that return arrays of simple types or objects.
• Current Item: Adds a dynamic output for each item in the list, with object keys or record fields selectable in dropdowns.
• Action Limit: Supports up to 10 actions inside a looping group.
• Run History: Looped actions are grouped with individual statuses, expandable on demand.
• One Loop per Automation: Only one Looping group is allowed per automation; not available if Conditional Logic is present.
  ‍

How it Works

• Add a Looping action from the automation builder’s Advanced Logic section.
• Choose an input list from a Find or Webhook action.
• Add actions to the Looping container using the sidebar.
• Use the “Current Item” variable inside the loop to access each record or object.
• Save and run—each action group will execute per list item in isolation.

This feature helps streamline repetitive tasks without manual duplication of logic. Whether you're iterating over records or processing data from a webhook, Looping gives you granular control inside a clean, visual interface.
