Optimizing Module Configuration
You can ask for input or feedback from the AI Co-Builder on how to configure a module. The AI will provide a list of suggested improvements to ensure the module runs more efficiently.
The Power of Nested Loops in Softr
Softr workflows are highly powerful because they support 'nested loops' (loops within loops), allowing you to process complex data and save information into multiple different database tables within a single automation session.

Workflow Structure Generation
Target:
Softr AI Co-Builder
I want to build a daily research workflow. Step 1: Scrape X posts about AI automation, AI agents, and agentic workflows using Amplify. Step 2: Summarize the findings. Step 3: Generate structured content ideas for LinkedIn. Step 4: Loop through each topic and idea to create records in my Softr database. Step 5: Send a Slack notification when done.
Step by Step
Building Complex Automation Workflows with AI Co-Builder
- Open the Softr dashboard and navigate to the 'Workflows' section.
- Click on 'Create Workflow' and select the 'Recurring Schedule' trigger to run the automation daily.
- Enable the 'AI Co-Builder' to help build the workflow structure by providing full context about the process you want to automate.
- Configure the first module using the 'Amplify' integration to scrape posts on X (Twitter) based on specific topics (e.g., AI automation, AI agents, vibe coding). Set the limit to 50 items.
- Add the Softr 'Native AI' module to summarize the raw data that has been scraped.
- Use the AI module again to convert the summary into a 'Structured Output' format so the data can be easily processed by the database.
- Set up 'Nested Loop' logic: The first loop will iterate through each identified topic, while the second loop (inside the first) will iterate through each content idea (LinkedIn post or event).
- Add a 'Create Record' action to insert data into two different tables: the 'Topics' table and the 'Content Ideas' table.
- Integrate the 'Slack' module at the end of the workflow to send automatic notifications to your team's channel whenever the process is complete.
- Click 'Publish' to activate the workflow in the background.
