In my cloud botpress, I am calling an api, from which I am getting an array of objects, each object contains information of a user, now I want to loop though each item in result array, and send messages containing object in a formate, how can I do it?

Hey @worried-plumber-65401, loops are tricky. Give me a minute and I'll post a handy guide for ya
w
okay
@acceptable-kangaroo-64719 Have you got anything?

sorry, got pulled into a meeting. The gist of it is you need two nodes: one to do your thing, another to increment and set 
event.state._stacktrace = []
gimmie about 20 minutes and I'll grab some screenshots
w
yeah sure.

thanks for your patience, here's some visuals to help out. In my example, I'm getting an array of cat pictures from cats-as-a-service API, and then getting GPT to come up with a name and description for each cat. This is my main flow
Then the actual loop happens here
In the first node, I go through the 
items
object and take the bits I need for the image. Then I feed them to the AI task.
This is basically a 
for
loop, and I create a counter called 
i
that is equal to the length of the array
After my AI task, I increment 
i
and, if it is less than 
items.length
I go to the 
loop
node where I reset the stacktace to avoide infinite loop detection.
You can load up the bot in your own cloud wiht this file
