For Each (Apply to Each)

Control Flow

Loop through arrays and execute actions for each item

Overview

The For Each node (shown as "Apply to Each" in the Node Library) iterates through an array and executes a set of actions for each item. Drag nodes inside the loop container to define what runs for each item. This is similar to Power Automate's "Apply to Each" action and is essential for batch processing and handling lists of data.

Sequential Execution

Items are processed one at a time, in order, and the steps inside the loop run one after another for each item. For parallel processing, use the Parallel Split node instead.

The Apply to Each node's config panel: array input selector, current item variable, delay between items and max items — The Apply to Each config panel — pick the array to loop over and name the per-item variable.

Parameters

Configuration options for this node

inputArray

Array

Required

"Select an output from previous steps": the array to iterate over — a variable name or a {{...}} reference.

Example: records, {{webhook.body.items}}

currentItem

String

Current Item Variable: the name of the variable that holds the current item. The 0-based position is available as the same name plus "Index" (e.g. {{itemIndex}}).

Default: item

delayBetweenItems

Number

Delay Between Items (ms): pause between iterations (never before the first) — useful for rate limits. Max 60000.

Default: 0

maxItems

Number

Max Items: process only the first N items (0 = no limit). Skipped items are logged.

Default: 0

continueOnItemError

Boolean

Continue On Item Error: if a step fails for one item, log the error and move on to the next item instead of stopping the run.

Default: false

How It Works

Input: The node receives an array (e.g., a list of URLs, products, or records)
Iteration: For each item in the array, the nodes inside the loop execute
Variables: During each iteration:
- {{item}} - The current item being processed (or whatever you named the Current Item Variable)
- {{itemIndex}} - The index (0, 1, 2, ...)
Completion: After all items are processed, execution continues to the next node

Usage Examples

Example 1: Process Multiple URLs

Scrape data from a list of web pages

Workflow structure:

HTTP Request: Get list of product URLs from API
For Each: {{urls}}
↳ Open Page: {{item}}
↳ Extract Text: Product name → productName
↳ Extract Text: Price → price
↳ Add to Google Sheet
Send summary email

Example 2: Send Personalized Emails

Email each recipient from a list

Workflow structure:

Google Sheets: Read recipients list
For Each: {{recipients}}
↳ Send Email:
To: {{item.email}}
Subject: Hello {{item.name}}
Log completion

Example 3: Fill Multiple Forms

Submit form data for each record

Workflow structure:

Open Page: Form page
For Each: {{formData}}
↳ Fill: Name field → {{item.name}}
↳ Fill: Email field → {{item.email}}
↳ Click: Submit button
↳ Wait: For success message
↳ Click: "Add Another" button

Accessing Current Item Properties

If your array contains objects, access their properties with dot notation:

// Array: [{ name: "John", email: "john@example.com" }, ...]
// Access in loop:
{{item.name}}   // "John"
{{item.email}}  // "john@example.com"

For simple arrays (e.g., ["url1", "url2"]), just use {{item}}

Best Practices

Add Delays for Stability

When iterating through browser actions or API calls, set Delay Between Items to pause between iterations and avoid rate limiting.

Handle Errors Gracefully

Turn on Continue On Item Error so one failed item doesn't stop the entire batch — the error is logged and the loop moves on to the next item.

Test with Small Arrays First

When developing, set Max Items to 2 or 3. Once working, set it back to 0 to run the full array. This speeds up development and debugging.

Use Index for Progress Tracking

Use the index variable to track progress: "Processing item {{itemIndex}}". Each iteration's status and output also appear on the loop node in Execution Results.
