Infinite loop inner looping error anyone can HELP!

[zain_ali3]

what i want

Take guests one by one.

1. For each guest, generate the 3 message templates (first, follow-up, final).

2. For each of those 3 messages, wait until the correct scheduled time.

3. Send it through Twilio.

4. Move to the next message.

5. After all 3 are done, move to the next guest.

what is wrong when i connect inner loop ‘done‘ node to the outer loop so inner loop is sending the itself data to the outer loop so that’s way my outer loop 2 item is not sending the actual data that i want instead of actual data it is sending ineerloop data

• For each of those 3 messages, wait until the correct scheduled time.
• Send it through Twilio.
• Move to the next message.
• After all 3 are done, move to the next guest.

Each message is sent individually to twilio, when your 3 m3ssages are done, go back to outerloop for next client?

but man after the inner loop finishing which is “loop message“ this node is sendeing the data to the
outer loop so that’s way the actual ‘‘outer loop’’ data is removed and innner loop data is send
what i do ?

Nested loops can be tricky, and you want something like this(one of n8n members solution):

Loop Node Only Processes the First Item - How to Fix?

Hey @Gustavo_Borges , looks like you are right. I can reproduce the same behaviour (with much simpler workflow for better understanding). Indeed, the 2nd set of items is not getting iterated but rather gets concatenated with the first outcome of the first set of iterations. I believe this is a limitation of the Loop node. You currently cannot loop the “done” outcome back to the input of the Loop (regardless if it is via other nodes, not directly). You might need to find some other solution. Fo…

Summari :

In your inner Loop Over Items node, go to Options → Reset → Expression.

Use an expreession like:

{{ $prevNode.name === ‘Your Outer Loop Source Node’ }}.

Ensure the data flow from the inner loop’s “done” output does not overwrite or replace the outer loop’s Dat for the next guest.
