# Workflow Counter

The **Workflow Counter** is an essential tool for generating unique IDs / numbers during each bot workflow or automation execution. It offers several customisable options:

* **Initial Value**: Sets the starting point for the counter.
* **Operation**: Choose to either *increment* or *decrement* the counter.
* **Change Value By**: Determines the step size for the counter adjustment.
* **Reset Value on Each Execution**: Resets the counter to the initial value after every execution, if enabled.
* **Reset Counter When Reaches**: Establishes a maximum limit for the counter. Upon reaching this limit, the counter resets to Initial Value.
