Recursive Pipeline Solution

[masterkrause]

I am curious about using recursive pipelines. I know the documentation says that we should not use pipelines in a recursive manner but for some solutions, I think it makes sense. I have created two pipelines: Recursion Parent and Recursion Child.The Recursion Parent passes in a simple js variable, $test which is set to 2 in this case. The Recursion Parent then calls the Recursion Child pipeline which then increments $test by 1 while subsequently decrementing the pipeline parameter param by 1. Once param == 0 then the Child pipeline stops and returns the value of $test and a status, in this case “completed”.

Recursive Parent Input

Recursive Parent Output

Recursive Child Input

Recursive Child Pipeline Execute

My question/point to this is: Why is recursion not supported? It obviously works with a minor work around.

Thanks christwr your looping solution helped me to loop through an REST Post until successfully getting success from a sha356 hash password.

Hello normpw, thank you for joining our Community and making your first post one that shares your success from christwr’s suggestion!

For Rest Get’s pagination feature please have a look at this sample pipeline, REST Get Pagination for Hubspot.slp in our doc.
