Use the Iterate node in NocoDB workflows to process each item in a list one at a time.

Use the **Iterate** node in NocoDB workflows to loop through a list of items (array). The node runs a set of actions for each item, one at a time. Use it to process many records or data entries in a batch.

### Configuration

* **List**: Specify the array of items to iterate over. The array can come from previous nodes in the workflow.

### How It Works

* The Iterate node gets an input array and processes the items one after the other.
* For each item in the array, the workflow runs the actions in the **For each item** branch. Thus you can handle each item separately.
* When the **For each item** branch is complete for all items, the workflow continues through the **After iterate** branch.

The workflow execution history has the logs for each iteration. Use them to monitor how NocoDB processes each item. [Learn more.](/docs/workflows/execution-logs#iterator-logs)

### Use cases

* Send personalized emails to a list of contacts
* Update many records in a database
* Make reports for each item in a dataset

## Availability

* Available on the NocoDB Cloud Plus plan and higher, and on licensed on-premise deployments.
