Why does my workflow stop after the Loop Over Items node completes?

Hi everyone,
I am experiencing an issue with the Loop Over Items node in my workflow. After processing all items in the loop, the workflow stops completely instead of moving on to subsequent nodes.
My workflow structure is as follows:
-
Data is sent into the Loop Over Items node (batch size: 500)
-
The Loop Over Items node splits into:
- SG HTTP Request node for processing
- Aggregate node to collect results
-
The SG HTTP Request results are fed back into the Loop Over Items node
Current node settings include:
- Loop Over Items:
retryOnFail: true alwaysOutputDataset to true- Aggregate node is set to
aggregateAllItemData
Expected behavior: After processing all items, the workflow should continue to the subsequent nodes (Convert to JSON and OneDrive upload nodes)
Actual behavior: The workflow stops completely after the loop finishes processing
I have tried:
- Setting alwaysOutputData to true
- Verifying that all connections are correct
- Checking execution logs for errors
BASHIs there something I’m missing in the configuration?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Based on how n8n is designed to handle loops, it sounds like your subsequent nodes might be connected to the wrong output of the Loop Over Items node.
The Loop Over Items node provides two outputs:
• The “loop” output is used to process each batch, looping back into the node until there are no items left.
• The “done” output is only executed once after all batches have been processed.
If you connect nodes that should run only after all looping is complete (like your Convert to JSON or OneDrive upload nodes) to the “loop” output, they won’t run because that output only carries the data for each batch. Instead, you need to connect them to the “done” output so they trigger after the loop finishes.
Try checking your workflow to ensure that the subsequent nodes are attached to the “done” output of the Loop Over Items node rather than the “loop” output. This adjustment should allow the workflow to proceed as expected after all iterations are complete.
