I, too, am excited about Pipedream.

I think it needs more no-code support for some of the fundamental abstractions needed for scripting, especially ETL:

- Branching

- Looping

For example: Recently, I built an integration from ForwardEmail to Airtable using Pipedream and realized I needed a secondary nightly automation to clean up the records so the Airtable base didn’t exceed my limits. Now, Pipedream happily executes a step that returns an array of Airtable records. Problem is, as far as I can tell, Pipedream has no native concept of “loop through every entry in the array”, so I had to hop into Javascript code to create a for loop.

Yup it's something that's been on the backlog for a bit and we're trying to solve for.

Here's the issue if you'd like to follow: https://github.com/PipedreamHQ/pipedream/issues/193

It is possible to make a custom source for ForwardEmail, and then emit 1 action per row, but that requires writing code outside of the GUI.

Definitely hear you on this pain and we're working on it.
