Loop Over List automates repetitive tasks by performing the same actions on multiple items. Think of it like having an assistant who can repeat the same task for every item on your list - perfect for bulk operations that would take hours to do manually.

​
What is a Loop?

A loop is simply doing the same task multiple times with different data. In marketing, you do this manually all the time:

Manual Process (Without Loop):

  1. Check Account 1 performance → Create report
  2. Check Account 2 performance → Create report
  3. Check Account 3 performance → Create report
  4. (Repeat for 50+ accounts…)

Automated Process (With Loop):

  1. Give the system a list of all accounts
  2. Set up the workflow once: Check performance → Create report
  3. The loop automatically runs this for every account

​
When to Use It

Use this node when you need to:

  • Process multiple campaigns, accounts, or URLs with the same workflow
  • Generate individual reports for different clients
  • Update multiple spreadsheets with the same data structure
  • Send personalized emails to a list of recipients
  • Scrape data from multiple web pages

​
How It Works

This node has two special output paths:

​
Loop Path

  • What it does: Repeats connected nodes for each item in your list
  • Connect to: The workflow you want to repeat
  • Example: Connect to data collection → analysis → reporting nodes

​
Done Path

  • What it does: Executes once when all loop items are finished
  • Connect to: Final actions like sending summary emails
  • Example: Connect to “Send completion email to manager”

​
Inputs

List of ItemsText/DataYesThe items to loop through (campaigns, URLs, client names, etc.)

​
Real-World Examples

​
Multi-Client Reporting

Input List: ["Client A", "Client B", "Client C"]

Loop Path:
1. Get Google Ads data for current client
2. Get Facebook Ads data for current client  
3. Create report in client's spreadsheet
4. Send email to client
*(Repeats for each client)*

Done Path:
- Send summary email to account manager

​
AI SEO Title & Description Generator

Input List: URLs from sitemap extraction

Loop Path:
1. Scrape current URL for existing titles, descriptions, and content
2. Feed page content to AI for SEO analysis
3. Generate optimized page titles and meta descriptions
4. Write AI-generated SEO recommendations back to Google Sheets
*(Repeats for each URL)*

Done Path:
- Send completion notification

​
Examples of Lists You Can Use

Campaign Lists:

["Campaign A", "Campaign B", "Campaign C"]

URL Lists:

["https://site1.com", "https://site2.com", "https://site3.com"]

Reporting Data:

[
    {"date": "2024-01-01", "sessions": 100, "conversions": 5},
    {"date": "2024-01-02", "sessions": 150, "conversions": 10},
    {"date": "2024-01-03", "sessions": 200, "conversions": 15}
]

Working with Your Data Inside the Loop

Think of the loop as taking a big list and giving you one item at a time to work with. Here’s how it works in simple terms:

​
What Happens to Your List

When you connect a list of items to the Loop node, it automatically breaks them down so you can work with each item individually.

Example: Processing Multiple Clients

Your Original List: Client A, Client B, Client C

What the Loop Does:
- Round 1: Works with just "Client A"
- Round 2: Works with just "Client B" 
- Round 3: Works with just "Client C"

Example: Processing Website URLs

Your Original List: 50 website URLs from your spreadsheet

What the Loop Does:
- Round 1: Works with just the first URL
- Round 2: Works with just the second URL
- (Continues until all 50 URLs are processed)

​
Getting Individual Items from Your Loop

After you connect your list and run the loop once, you’ll see new options appear that let you grab individual items:

“Entire Item” - This gives you the complete individual item

  • Perfect for simple lists like URLs, campaign names, or account IDs
  • Use this when you need the whole item as-is

“Item: [Your Column Name]” - This gives you specific pieces of data

  • Shows up when your list comes from a spreadsheet with columns
  • Example: If your spreadsheet has “Account ID” and “Client Name” columns, you’ll see “Item: Account ID” and “Item: Client Name”
  • Use these when you need specific pieces of information

​
Setting Up Your Connections

The key rule: Always connect the individual item outputs from the Loop node to your next steps, not your original full list.

Do This:

  • Connect “Entire Item” from Loop node to your Google Ads node
  • Connect “Item: Account ID” from Loop node to get specific account data

Don’t Do This:

  • Connect your original “Account List” from Google Sheets directly to Google Ads
  • This would try to process all accounts at once instead of one by one

​
Quick Setup Steps

  1. Connect your list to the Loop node
  2. Run the workflow once (it’s okay if it doesn’t complete perfectly)
  3. Look for new outputs on the Loop node - you’ll now see “Entire Item” and other options
  4. Connect these new outputs to the next steps in your workflow

​
Tips for Marketers

Start with Small Lists:

  • Test with 3-5 items first to make sure everything works
  • Once you’re confident, scale up to your full list
  • This saves time if something needs fixing

Watch for Stopping Points:

  • If one item in your list fails (like a broken URL), the entire loop stops
  • The remaining items won’t be processed
  • Always test your workflow with sample data before running large lists

Monitor Your Progress:

  • You can see which item is currently being processed
  • For long lists, consider running during quieter times
