Loop x times when IF is false

Questions
#1

WooCommerce has an order.created webhook.

If the order is made inside WooCommerce Store. It’ll trigger.

Then After 2 Mins of Wait.

WooCommerce Node will get the Order Status.

And with the help of IF Node.

  • If the status is processing It’ll send to TRUE Branch.

  • If the status is pending it’ll send to FALSE Branch (loop).

Then Again wait for 2 mins then the same thing comes in a loop.

But the problem is: If I don’t have a 3 times loop or Loop Limit. It’ll become a non-ending loop.

How to solve this issue? or Any Ideas on this?
