For example, if a trigger returns a list of 10 line items from an order, a loop processes each line item individually \u2014 creating a record in another system for each one.<\/p>\n<h2>Common Loop Use Cases<\/h2>\n<p>Processing all contacts returned by a CRM search. Creating line items in Zoho Books for each product in a Sales Order. Sending individual messages to each member of a group returned from an HR system. Any use case where a trigger or action returns multiple records requiring per-record processing needs a loop.<\/p>\n<h2>Loop Performance<\/h2>\n<p>Loops that iterate over large datasets (hundreds or thousands of records) may exceed Zoho Flow&#8217;s execution time limits or consume significant API quota from connected apps. For high-volume data processing, consider whether Zoho Flow is the right tool or whether a bulk API operation or a scheduled script would be more efficient.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A step in Zoho Flow that iterates over a list or collection of records, executing subsequent actions for each item in the list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"seo_title":"Loop | Zoho Glossary | Aaxonix","seo_description":"A step in Zoho Flow that iterates over a list or collection of records, executing subsequent actions for each item in the list.","seo_keyword":"loop zoho flow","seo_faqs":"","term_type":"","glossary_related":"","glossary_links":""},"glossary_category":[1257],"class_list":["post-5097","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry","glossary_category-zoho-flow"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/5097","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5097"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary_category?post=5097"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
