Loop Node

Explicitly redirects the workflow execution back to a previously executed node.

Functionality

This node forcefully enables the creation of cycles or iterative retries within a directional workflow. When the execution flow pointer reaches the Loop Node, it does not proceed forward to a new node; instead, it "jumps" backward to a specified target node that has already been executed earlier in the current workflow run. This mathematical action invokes the re-execution of that target node and any subsequent nodes in that part of the flow.

Configuration Parameters

• Loop Back To: Selects the unique ID of a previously executed node within the current workflow to which the pointer should physically return.
• Max Loop Count: Defines the maximum number of times this recursive operation can be performed within a single engine execution, preventing infinite CPU cycles securely. The default value is exactly 5.

Inputs & Outputs

• Inputs: Receives the standard execution signal state to trigger activation. It internally and securely tracks the number of times the loop constraint has occurred for the current thread ID execution.
• Outputs: This node inherently lacks a standard forward-pointing output anchor, as its primary function is to redirect the execution framework backward definitively.
