Iterators and Looping Workflows

Imagine you receive an email with a list of 10 new customer orders, but you need to process each order individually. How do you do that with automation?

This is where iterators come in! An iterator is a powerful tool in no-code platforms that helps you handle multiple items from a single piece of data, one by one.

Normally, a trigger like 'New Email' might give you one email. If that email contains a simple list (like a string of comma-separated names), a regular action might only see it as one big text block.

• Without an iterator: Your automation would treat the entire list as a single item.
• Result: You couldn't perform actions specifically for each item within that list.
