Question

Loop by Zapier only returns one iteration instead of the 6 I'm asking it for.

Bug Summary: Looping by Zapier step only creates 1 iteration instead of expected 6 iterations

Expected Behavior: Loop should create 6 separate iterations for column names: "Book", "Page", "Street Address", "City", "State", "Zip Code"

Actual Behavior: Loop consistently shows loop_total_iterations: 1 regardless of input configuration

Configurations Attempted:

  • Array format: {"column_name": ["Book", "Page", "Street Address", "City", "State", "Zip Code"]}
  • Object format: {"1": "Book", "2": "Page", "3": "Street Address", "4": "City", "5": "State", "6": "Zip Code"}
  • Line-separated text format

Impact: Unable to create multiple columns dynamically, forcing manual creation of individual steps

Hi ​@DLopez 

Help links for using Looping: https://zapier.com/apps/looping/integrations#help

 

For us to have true context, post these screenshots:

  • how your Zap steps are outlined
  • how your Zap steps are configured in the CONFIGURE tab while in EDIT mode
  • the DATA OUT from the Zap step that is then used in the Looping step so we can see the original data structure

Hey ​@DLopez,

If it’s a live Zap, you can check Zap history to see what’s happening and if you need to change any logic in your Zap.

Otherwise post screenshot of Data In, Data Out as well as how each Zap step is configured for us to have more context. Hope it helps!

​@DLopez I'd need to see how the loop step is configured (screenshot please!), but I’m wondering if the construction of the JSON object, with the title field included, is breaking this - really it should be a pure array: ["Book", "Page", "Street Address", "City", "State", "Zip Code"]
