Cycles
Integromat Support Team
Updated
There are 4 phases in the scenario run: initialization, operation (reading or writing), commit, and finalization. For detailed descriptions of all the phases please see the Transactions article. There can be more cycles within one scenario run.
One cycle consists of two phases - operation and commit.
You can set the Max number of cycles in the Scenario settings. The default Max number of cycles is set to 1.
Examples
Example scenario: Dropbox > Watch files retrieves files added to a folder and the Google Sheets > Add a Row module inserts the file name and file size to a new row in the sheet.
Example - Max number of cycles is set to 1 (default)
The Maximum number of returned files in the Dropbox > Watch files module is set to 10.
If 100 files are added to the Dropbox folder and the Maximum number of returned files field is set to 10 then 90 files will be left unprocessed after one scenario run. Next 10 files will be processed in the next scheduled scenario execution.
Example - Max number of cycles is set to 10
The Maximum number of returned files in the Dropbox > Watch files module is set to 10.
If 100 files are added to the Dropbox folder and the Maximum number of returned files option is set to 10 then 10 files will be processed during the first cycle, the next 10 files in the second cycle, the next 10 files in the third cycle and so on, until all files are processed.
All files are processed within the one scenario run.
You can see the already run cycles in the scenario run details:
