For Each

The For Each node loops over an array and runs downstream actions once for each item. Use it when you need to process a list of items: rows, contacts, orders, messages.

How it works

  1. A previous node outputs an array (e.g., a list of spreadsheet rows)
  2. The For Each node iterates over each item in the array
  3. For each item, all downstream nodes inside the loop execute
  4. After all items are processed, the workflow continues past the loop

Configuration

For Each node
For Each: iterate over each item in an array
FieldDescription
ArrayThe variable containing the array to loop over (e.g., {{sheets.rows}})
Current item variableHow to reference the current item in the loop (default: {{item}})
ConcurrencyHow many items to process in parallel (default: 1 = sequential)

Example: Send personalized emails

Given a Google Sheets trigger that returns rows:

  1. Add a For Each node
  2. Set the array to {{sheets.rows}}
  3. Inside the loop, add a Send Email node
  4. Use {{item.email}} for the recipient, {{item.name}} for personalization
To: {{item.email}}
Subject: Hi {{item.name}}, your invoice is ready
Body: Your total is ${{item.amount}}

Working with the current item

Inside the loop, reference the current item with {{item}}:

VariableWhat it gives you
{{item}}The entire current item
{{item.name}}A specific field
{{item._index}}The current iteration index (0-based)
{{item._total}}Total number of items in the array

Controlling the loop

  • Skip node: skip the current item and move to the next
  • Stop Loop node: exit the loop early (remaining items are skipped)
Tip

Set concurrency > 1 to process items in parallel. This is faster but be careful with API rate limits; most APIs allow 5-10 requests per second.

Warning

If your array has thousands of items, the workflow will take a long time to complete. Consider batching large arrays or using the concurrency setting to speed things up.
