In business automation
Many interfaces do not return all records in one request. An import or reporting workflow needs to continue until the list ends and save progress if processing takes a long time.
Examples
These examples illustrate a possible workflow. Adapt the connections and rules to your own systems.
Business process example
A customer report receives the first segment with a continuation cursor. The workflow requests the next segment, combines records by ID, and checks that no cursor remains before generating the report.
Relevant tools
- n8n
- Continuation calls can be configured in HTTP Request or implemented as a loop based on the response structure.
What to check
- A small number of results does not always mean the list has ended. Follow the API's documented continuation mechanism.
