Add Loop block functionality
Problem / Motivation TypeBot currently has no native mechanism to repeat a sequence of blocks. Builders are forced to:
- Duplicate blocks manually
- Inject custom JavaScript
- Abandon certain use-cases altogether 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 zero
Builder UX
- Drag-and-drop "Loop" container; creators can next blocks inside.
- The side panel shows a loop model dropdown and configurable parameters.
- Visual badge displays current mode, e.g.,
For-Each.
Runtime behavior
- Maintains loop index (
loop.index,loop.item) in conversation state. - Supports a break via a "Break Loop" exit inside nested blocks.
- Hard guardrail
maxIterationsto prevent infinite loops.
