Single-run step after loop?

Question

I’m running a loop to find multiple files that I then want to attach to a Gmail draft. Is there a way to add a step after the loop has iterated through all the inputs on which I’m searching, and then attach all the found files to the draft? That is––is there a way to add a step after the loop has stopped? (Apologies if this is too newbie of a question!)

Hi ​@nat28Help links for using Looping:https://zapier.com/apps/looping/integrations#helpHow 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. NoteIf 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.
