Hi Experts,

In a workflow, I’m invoking 2 api calls inside the loop operator. If the http request fails, I see failure error in log.

Is there an option to see the failures occurred in the loop in the next step, i.e after the loop exit

Hi,

As per this [Workflow - Issue with “Define Variable” operator? - Identity Security Cloud (ISC) / ISC Discussion and Questions - SailPoint Developer Community](https://developer.sailpoint.com/discuss/t/workflow-issue-with-define-variable-operator/21628), and also we have experienced it that steps that come after loop cannot reference the steps inside the loop.

As shared in the above link, you can check Recursive workflow concept to achieve this - [Recursive Workflows in IdentityNow - Content / Community Blog - SailPoint Developer Community](https://developer.sailpoint.com/discuss/t/recursive-workflows-in-identitynow/16235)

Thanks

Hi @chandramohans27 i don’t think you can get that output out of the loop. Reason being that loop runs independently, also there is no storage variable that can be used to store the responses and reference outside loop.  
Check this for more info:[Operators - SailPoint Identity Services](https://documentation.sailpoint.com/saas/help/workflows/workflow-operators.html#loop)
