How to Fix TexAu Workflow Loops: Causes, Troubleshooting & Prevention Tips

If your TexAu workflow seems to be running endlessly or repeating the same steps, it may be stuck in a loop. It can cause your workflow to run too many times, create duplicate data, or get automatically paused by TexAu to prevent it from running in a loop.

Here's how to identify and fix looping issues.

Why Loops Happen in TexAu?

Loops can be useful for handling multiple items (like rows or pages), but they can also cause problems when:

• There’s no clear stopping condition.
• The same trigger data is reused continuously.
• Actions create new data that re-triggers the workflow.

1. Review Workflow Settings

Some looping issues come from trigger behavior. For example:

• A webhook or polling trigger receives the same data repeatedly.
• A new record created by the workflow causes it to run again (recursive triggering).

Avoid using the same trigger and action on the same dataset unless you're explicitly building a feedback loop.

2. Use Filters to Stop Unnecessary Repeats

Adding a filter step early in your workflow can prevent repeated runs. For example:

• Filter out records that have already been processed (e.g., by status or timestamp).
• Use a custom condition to allow only new or unique items to pass through.

3. Pause and Test

Test your workflow with a controlled sample. This helps isolate loop behavior without creating extra data.

Final Tip

If your workflow still loops despite these fixes, export a sample and reach out to TexAu Support. Include your run logs, we will help you spot exactly where things are going wrong.
