Next conceptVariable changes across For Each iterations and after the scope

Explainer

The For Each scope splits a collection into elements and runs the processors inside it on each element, one at a time, much like a for loop in other programming languages. While it runs, For Each gives you two helper variables. The counter variable numbers each iteration, and the root message variable keeps the original, un-split message. Both exist only inside the scope.
Core information
  • Inside For Each, payload is the current element, not the whole input. For Each splits the collection (by default, payload), and each element becomes the payload for the processors in the scope. The counter variable tells you which iteration you are on, and the root message variable lets you see the original input.
More details and nuances
  • For Each consumes both variables, so you can use them only inside the scope. Outside For Each, vars.counter and vars.rootMessage return null. For example, a Logger placed after the scope that logs #[vars.counter] prints null, not the last count.
