Repeat with Each
?
Takes a list of items as input, and runs the contained actions once for each item in the list.
Action Information
Parameters
Repeat with each item in [Items]
Input
(Anything) A list of items (optional)
Result
Every item passed to the “End Repeat” action
Comments
Generates a “Repeat Results” variable that contains a list of all the items passed out as result, stacked during each iteration.
Use the “”Repeat Item”” variable inside the repeat aera for the individual item in the current loop, and the Repeat Index counts each loop and increases by one every time. Both are found *only* in the variable bar and not via Select Magic Variables.
Very, very useful. One of the best ways to harness the power of Shortcuts – batch tasks.
