Hi all - I have a flow that processes records on a Google Sheet. It works but processes the records in batches (right now I am doing this using row numbers on the google sheet reader). I have to run in smaller batches as it can run into errors (for a variety of reasons). This ends up eating a ton of credits without getting any output.

My question is: Is it possible to have it run a full flow for each record one at a time?

Secondary questions:  
How would I configure this? (A trigger? Something else?)  
Does this make a difference in terms of credits used?

Thanks!

Hey @JulieH! If you’re reporting an issue with a flow or an error in a run, please include the **run link** and make sure it’s **shareable** so we can take a look.

1. **Find your run link** on the history page. Format: `https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?run_id={{your_run_id}}&workbook_id={{workbook_id}}`

2. **Make it shareable** by clicking **“Share”** → ‘Anyone with the link can view’ in the top-left corner of the flow screen.

3. **Provide details** about the issue—more context helps us troubleshoot faster.

Yup! This is exactly what subflows are for. You can merge the entire process in a subflow so it works for a single input/row. You can then loop that subflow over your Google Sheet and wrap the subflow in an `Error Shield`, that way if anything fails it can be skipped without halting the flow.

Credits are charged based on the nodes executed which cost credits. So if a node is executed that costs credits but the workflow fails then credits for that node will still be charged. [https://docs.gumloop.com/core-concepts/credits](https://docs.gumloop.com/core-concepts/credits)
