Hello experts !, I’m trying to mimic a scenario where the end-user accidentally clicks the button twice & request is sent twice !!

**try to achieve** : sending the same request again after checking the response code.

**problem/issue** : the console.log within the “if block” gets printed but it seems that the same request is NOT send …

**my (simple) logic example in Post-response**:

```auto
if(pm.response.code == '404') {
    console.log('resending !!');
    pm.execution.setNextRequest(pm.info.requestName);
    console.log('sent')
}

```

so basically, the console logs are just printed but it seems the Postman is NOT setting the next request to itself …

can someone please rectify my logic here?

Hey @koustubh24 👋🏻

Are you using the Collection Runner to do that as that `setNextRequest` function would only work with that.

This wouldn’t work for an [individual request](https://learning.postman.com/docs/collections/running-collections/building-workflows/#use-setnextrequest-when-you-run-an-entire-collection).

> Use the `pm.execution.setNextRequest()` function when running a collection with the Collection Runner, the Postman CLI, or Newman. It has no effect when you run a request using **Send**.

@danny-dainton , thank you for that insight as I had no idea 😀. I intend to use it in “Collection Runner” but for testing the logic I was doing in the “individual request”. Will keep that in mind, thank you again !
