# Repeat

> Run an internal workflow a fixed number of times.

**Audience: Workflow creators.**

## Overview

Run an internal workflow a fixed number of times.

Use this block when its responsibility is clear in the graph. Give it a name that describes the work it performs, then test it with representative input before publishing.

## Working examples

These are complete starting points, not decorative diagrams. Every graph is also available in the main template library and is checked by the workflow compiler.

### 1. Create three headline options

**You will build:** Three independent headline candidates.

Repeated generation gives an editor real choice. Sequential execution and fail-fast behavior make failures obvious.

```docsgraph
block-repeat-create-three-headline-options
```

[Open this template](/templates/block-repeat-create-three-headline-options) and adapt the labels, prompts, or credentials to your own workflow.

### 2. Generate five ad angles

**You will build:** Five distinct campaign angles.

Creates a bounded batch without duplicating blocks manually. The fixed count caps cost before the run starts.

```docsgraph
block-repeat-generate-five-ad-angles
```

[Open this template](/templates/block-repeat-generate-five-ad-angles) and adapt the labels, prompts, or credentials to your own workflow.

### 3. Draft a weekly idea set

**You will build:** One idea for each day of the week.

Turns one theme into a predictable planning batch. Collect-all returns every successful iteration in order.

```docsgraph
block-repeat-draft-a-weekly-idea-set
```

[Open this template](/templates/block-repeat-draft-a-weekly-idea-set) and adapt the labels, prompts, or credentials to your own workflow.

## Ports

- **Input: Input** (`source`): `any`, optional, single.
- **Output: Result** (`result`): `any`, optional, single.

## Inspector

- **Number of times:** key `count`; number; range: 1 to 1000; default: `3`.
- **If one run fails:** key `failurePolicy`; select; options: `fail_fast`, `continue`; default: `"fail_fast"`.
- **Runs at once:** key `concurrency`; number; range: 1 to 8; default: `1`.
- **Return:** key `resultPolicy`; select; options: `collect-all`, `last`; default: `"collect-all"`.
- **nested-workflow editor:** manages `body` with edit, validate, preview support.

## Behavior

- **Input requirement:** No inbound value is required by the contract.
- **Execution:** Handled by the orchestrator using `repeat`.
- **Timeout:** No node-level timeout is defined.

## Cost

Uses workflow compute and may contribute to the run's compute cost.

## Security

- No credentials are used.
- The node has no external side effects.

## Retry

Retry and resume behavior is owned by the workflow orchestrator rather than a nested node retry loop.

## Production checklist

- Test the happy path and one malformed or empty input.
- Keep credentials out of prompts and published graph configuration.
- Set a timeout and retry policy that matches the operation's side effects.
- Name the final result so a runner can tell what success looks like.
