Access custom state list in recursive workflow

Hi there,

I have a list of multiple texts, returned from the OpenAI API which I temporarily store in a custom state list to feed through a repeating group. In the repeating group the user can then check a box of each text which I then add to another custom state list that stores the selected choices.
Now I want to save those choices in a field of a newly created datatype in my database. So: 1. Create a new “video” - - Hook=first item from the list. Repeat that process until the list is empty.

I have looked into API workflows but obviously can’t access my custom state list there. What is the right way to do this?

I hope this makes sense, thank you so much in advance!

You should first create an API workflow that accepts a single hook and does whatever you need. Then, you need to schedule API workflow on a list of things either recurring or with a frontend action. See the picture for a recurring one. The list to run on will be the custom state on your repeating group.

Also, in your first picture, see the workflow data source, it will probably be a hook as a parameter in your API workflow.
