Problem / Motivation
TypeBot currently has no native mechanism to repeat a sequence of blocks. Builders are forced to:
A first-class Loop Block lets flows iterate over a list or repeat until a condition is met, unlocking multi-item data capture, retry logic, dynamic surveys, and more.
Proposed Solution
Add a Loop (Iteration) Block that can wrap any sub-flow and execute it repeatedly based on
iterations = n
; exits when counter reaches zeroBuilder UX
For-Each
.Runtime behavior
loop.index
,loop.item
) in conversation state.maxIterations
to prevent infinite loops.
