🔄 Loop Support - Iterative Intelligence

Loop Types & Patterns

For-Each Loops 📋 Process multiple items with the same workflow:

Customer List (100 customers)
    ↓
For Each Customer:
├── Research Agent → Customer Analysis
├── Personalization Agent → Custom Content
├── Delivery Agent → Send Communication
└── Tracking Agent → Monitor Response
    ↓
Summary Agent → Campaign Results

While Loops 🔄 Continue until a condition is met:

Quality Assurance Loop:
Content Creation Agent
    ↓
Quality Review Agent
    ↓
[Quality Score < 8.5?] 
├── Yes → Revision Agent → Back to Quality Review
└── No → Publish Agent → Complete

Retry Loops 🔁 Handle failures and temporary issues:

API Integration with Retry:
Data Request Agent
    ↓
[Request Failed?]
├── Yes → [Attempts < 3?]
│   ├── Yes → Wait Agent → Retry Data Request
│   └── No → Error Handler → Human Escalation
└── No → Data Processing Agent → Continue
