What a cell's message means

The messages Loopster shows in cells, quoted as the app shows them, with what each one means.

Written by Umer Ishaq

After a column runs, each cell shows a short message or a result. This article explains the messages you may see, quoted as the app shows them.

Where do I see more about a cell?

  1. Double-click a cell, or select it and press Enter.

  2. The details show the fields of the result. Hover a field and click Add to column to put it in its own column. See Put a result's fields into their own columns.

What do the messages mean?

  • Processing...: the cell is being worked on.

  • Queued...: the cell is waiting for its turn in the run.

  • No company found: Company profile returned no company for that row's input. Other rows in the same run can still return results.

  • Record Found: Lookup in Table found a match in the other table. The cell can show a field count, as in "Record Found (2 fields)". Open the cell to see the fields.

  • No Record Found: Lookup in Table found no match for that row.

  • 1 record sent: Send to Table sent that row to the destination table. If the destination table was already open, reload the page to see the new rows.

  • Skipped duplicate: Send to Table did not send the row again. It shows when Skip duplicates is on, a Unique Key Column is set, and you re-run the column.

  • Sent: a Send Slack Message row posted its message to the channel you picked.

A table where the Founded year column shows Processing… in rows 1 and 2 while rows 3 to 5 are empty with play buttons.

A table with a Send to Table column that shows 1 record sent in every row and a Lookup in Table column that shows Record Found in three rows and No Record Found in two. One Record Found cell is outlined in red.

What if a cell shows an error?

The first time a cell fails, a tip says: "A cell that failed says so. The message is in the cell it happened in." The footer shows a count such as "1 cell failed". The tip explains three labels:

  • Error: "Crashed, something went wrong."

  • Unsatisfied: "Enrichment ran correctly, but output didn't match expected format."

  • Skipped: "Did not run because of filters or missing dependencies."

One message has a clear fix. If every row fails with "Unique key column is required when updating rows or skipping duplicates.", open the Send to Table column's Advanced Settings and pick a Unique Key Column. See Send rows to another table, or look up data from one.

Good to know

  • Company profile and Lookup in Table are labelled Free. Send to Table is too.

  • A failed cell shows its message in the cell it happened in.

  • Sent means the message went to the channel you picked. Check the channel before you run more rows. See Get data out: download a file or send rows to Slack.

  • A cell can show a message that is not listed here. Open the cell to see its details.
