By default, the Looping app runs loop iterations in parallel (aka at the same time).

But, there are cases when you need the loop iterations to run in sequential order. (e.g. loop iteration 1, then loop iteration 2, and so on.)

Here’s how to do that in your Zap steps.

Loop Iteration / Loop Total Iterations

e.g. If there are 5 items to iterate:

Map the Output variable from the Formatter step to the Time Delay For (value) input.

Now your Zap Run loop iterations will run in sequential order!
