📝 Overview
In Yoom, the loop command allows you to separate multiple retrieved values and process them individually. This is useful when working with values or records linked to those separated values.
This article explains what to do when the operation or output you need does not appear while using the loop command.
1️⃣ Cause & Solution: Missing List-Type Output before Loop Command
The loop action works when the target output is in a list format. However, if the previous operation doesn’t retrieve values in a list format, the operation or output won't be displayed in the loop action.
To resolve this, ensure that the previous operation retrieves values in a list format. A list format typically means values are separated by commas (,).
📍 Examples of Operations That Can Retrieve a List Format:
Actions that retrieve multiple records in operations that manipulate databases.
Actions in operations integrating with apps to retrieve multiple values, such as those in spreadsheets.
📍 Examples of Operations That Cannot Retrieve a List Format:
Actions that retrieve a single record in database operations.
Outputs not in list format in operations integrating with apps.
Values obtained from AI text recognition features (even if separated, these are not considered list format).
2️⃣ Cause & Solution: Changing a Single Output Operation to a List-Format Output
If you configured an operation that retrieves a single output and later changed it to retrieve a list-format output, the item may not appear in loop action. This is because the output format hasn't been updated.
To resolve this, create a new action and verify if the item appears in loop command. If it does, you can delete the old operation.
