How to add steps after a loop in a Zapier workflow

Hello ​@milos_mgx ,

Yeah, this is a common confusion and you're right, you can't drag steps out of the loop block using the UI. You have to use a workaround to add steps after the loop finishes.

Zapier loops do not support “continue after loop” natively in the same Zap. Instead, you do the following:

1. Zap A:

   • Trigger

   • Loop

   • Inside loop: do something per item

   • At end of loop: send data to Webhook or Zapier Storage

2. Zap B:

   • Triggered by Webhook or Storage update

   • Continues the next steps after the loop

Hope this helps!

How do I stop a loop from running in subsequent action steps?

All actions after the looping step will run for each iteration of the loop. If you don’t want an action step to loop:

• After the last step you want to loop, add a filter step.
• Set the filter to only continue if the value loop_iteration_is_last matches the (Boolean) Is True condition.

The filter will run in every loop but will only pass in the last loop. Any actions step after the filter will run once in the last loop and use only 1 task.

Note

If you want an action step to only run once, add it before the looping step, if possible. This will use less tasks and the filter step won’t be needed.
