How to implement repeated execution of HttpEndpoint in Elsa3?

[loopooo]

builder.Root = new Sequence
{
    Activities =
    {
       new If(context => context.GetContext() != null)
       {
           Then = new Fork{
               Branches =
               {
                   While.True(new Sequence(){
                       Activities =
                       {
                           new HttpEndpoint
                           {
                               Path = new("/dispatch-service/dispatch"),
                               SupportedMethods = new(new[] { HttpMethods.Post }),
                               CanStartWorkflow = true,
                               ParsedContent = new(httpRequestContext)
                           },
                           new WriteHttpResponse(){  Content=new ("111")},
                       }
                   }),// 'dispatch'
                   feedbackActivity,// 'feedback'
               },
               JoinMode = ForkJoinMode.WaitAny,
           },
           Else = finishActivity
       }
    }
};

As above, I want to be able to execute the 'dispatch ' method multiple times, but in fact it can only be executed once same as 'feedback'. ‘While.True’ didn't work the way I thought it would. Is there any problem with this way of writing and how to solve it? Thank you. By the way i start workflow by 'dispatch' request.

Based on the provided context and the Elsa Workflow documentation, it seems like you are trying to create a workflow that includes a Fork activity with a While loop inside one of its branches. However, the While activity as you've described it (While.True) does not exist in Elsa Workflows as per the documentation and examples provided.

Elsa Workflows does support looping constructs, but they are typically used outside of a Fork activity. The Fork activity is designed to create parallel branches of execution that can be joined later using a Join activity. The branches inside a Fork are not meant to be loops themselves.

If you want to execute the 'dispatch' method multiple times, you should consider using a looping construct like While or For outside of the Fork activity. However, the HttpEndpoint activity is designed to be triggered by an HTTP request, and it's not clear how you intend to repeatedly trigger the 'dispatch' method with new HTTP requests within a loop.

To solve your issue, you might need to redesign your workflow to separate the concerns of handling HTTP requests and looping logic. For example, you could have an HTTP request trigger the workflow, which then enters a loop to perform some repeated action. If you need to handle multiple HTTP requests, each request would need to trigger the workflow separately.

If you are looking for a way to repeatedly execute a part of the workflow in response to HTTP requests, you might need to set up an external mechanism to send those requests to the HttpEndpoint repeatedly, rather than trying to loop within the workflow itself.

For more specific guidance, you would need to provide additional details about what you are trying to achieve with the 'dispatch' and 'feedback' methods, and how they are supposed to interact with the HTTP requests.

Please note that the information provided is based on the Elsa Workflow documentation and the context you've given. If there are newer features or changes in the Elsa Workflow library that are not covered in the provided documentation, you may need to consult the latest official Elsa Workflow documentation or seek advice from the Elsa community.

If you want to be able to execute the 'dispatch ' method multiple times,the point is don't start workflow by 'dispatch'. Now,i use IWorkflowRuntime.StartWorkflowAsync to start workflow in the WorkflowsMiddleware,is this the right way?
