# For Each Loop

The For Each Loop step runs a block of code for each item in a list. You use it to process every item in an array or collection.

## How to Use the For Each Loop

Use this step to automate tasks that repeat for each item in a given list.

### Step 1: Add the For Each Loop Step

1.  Drag and drop the **For Each Loop** step into your process flow.
2.  Put the steps you want to repeat inside the For Each Loop block.

### Step 2: Set Up Input Parameters

Set up the loop to say which list to go through and where to put each item.

## Parameters Explained

**Step name** (Optional)

-   A custom name for the process step. This helps you find the step in the Process Editor.

**List** (Required)

-   The name of an existing variable that holds an array or list of items. The loop will process each item in this list.
-   **Example:** `myArrayOfNames`
-   **When to use it:** Always tell it which list you want to go through.

**Element variable** (Required)

-   The name of a variable where the current item from the list will be stored each time the loop runs.
-   **Example:** `currentItem`
-   **When to use it:** Use this variable inside the loop to work with one item at a time.
