Automation going in infinite loop

I am creating a qlik automation where the App Reload Finished and Do Reload blocks are same (same apps are used). So once the App Reload is finished, the automation gets triggered, the Do Reload block is reloading the app and again the automation is getting trigerred, this process continues (Going in infinite loop). But I want to trigger the automation once the app reload is finished and want to reload the app only once again, after that the automation should exit. How to resolve this issue?

You've used the same application twice—once in the reload block and again after the reload completes. This isn't the ideal way to automate things.

If you're using ELT, it's better to trigger the final application using a webhook after the ETL reload finishes. That approach makes more sense.

However, if you still want to run the same application twice using a webhook, you should add a condition block after the first reload to check the refresh time and control the second run accordingly.

Hi @StavG  could you please share more details on why the same app is being reloaded twice in your current flow? From what I can see, this setup causes the app to reload in a loop. It would be helpful to understand the specific requirement or goal behind this approach so we can explore a more efficient solution.
