Using logic container

Logic containers enable you to organize your Data Flows by grouping them into containers. This helps structure your logic and manage multiple steps efficiently.

  1. Group your Data Flows using containers by clicking Container Me in any logic step. This wraps the chosen step in a grey container.
  2. Drag and drop Logic steps into the container or click Add Logic Step to create a new logic step in the current container.
  3. Click the Parallel Steps toggle to set your logic steps to run in parallel within a container.

Using Logic container run modes

You can control how steps within the container run by selecting an execution mode.

  • Run Once: Runs all logic steps inside the container one time.
  • Loop Over: Repeats the logic for each item in a defined Data Flow list (such as dates, accounts, or regions).
  • Condition: Runs logic steps only if a specific condition is met (based on a variable or input).

Run once

The Run Once mode runs all logic steps inside the container once. To update multiple Data Flows, such as Facebook Ads, Bing Ads, LinkedIn Ads, and X Ads, at once, select this mode. Use this mode for standard one-time operations, such as building or refreshing a reporting table.

Loop over

The Loop Over mode repeats the logic steps inside the container for each item in a specified list (such as dates, accounts, or regions). Use this mode when the same process needs to run for multiple dynamic or parameterized values.

For example, you can use a variable generator like seq4 to create a sequence of monotonically increasing integers. seq4 - wraps integers after reaching the maximum available integer with 4 bytes. This sets up the generator function for the multiple values variable lst.

To use this:

  • Generate the variable to loop. In this example lst = [[0],[1],[2],[3],..]. i represents each value in the list during each loop iteration.

  • Container with the loop over property.

Another instance is pulling a list from the table at the first logic step and loading it into a variable, lst.

Using a loop over for pagination

You can use pagination within logic with a REST action. For example, consider you want to draw IDs from an existing table and put 500 of them in the POST payload each time to fetch their information.

  • Create a list of offset numbers with a 500-incremental jump between them and pass it into payload_offset (payload_offset = [0, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000]). Ensure that the payload_offset is set to multiple values.

  • Create the payload with each offset (use order by to ensure the offset does not change the table's original rows). Inside the REST REST Action, post a command with the payload {payload}.

Condition

The Condition runs logic steps only if a specific condition is met (based on a variable or input). Use this to control logic flow using flags, user inputs, or system conditions. For example, only run the LinkedIn Ads Data Flow if the variable include_linkedin is true.

  • Enter a static value or an existing variable that meets your condition. Depending on the results of the condition as it is processed, you can decide to execute a step, skip it, halt the process, or terminate the Data Flow.
  • If the condition is not met, you can use a second conditional container to handle the ELSE scenario for your condition.
