Salesforce Flow is one of the most powerful features used by admins and developers to automate business processes without writing code.
It allows you to create logic-based automation that updates records, sends emails, creates tasks, and performs many other actions.
One of the most important elements in Flow is the Loop Element. When working with multiple records, you often need to perform the same action repeatedly.
Instead of writing repetitive logic, the Loop element lets you process each record in a structured, one-by-one manner.
I was developing a Salesforce Flow that automatically sets all related tasks to “Completed” when a case is closed.
For example, when a support agent closes a case, there may still be open tasks related to it, such as follow-up calls or reminders.
We want to automatically mark these tasks as “Completed” so that the agent does not need to update each task individually.
To achieve this, I used the loop element in Salesforce Flow to process each related Task and update its status efficiently.
In this article, I will explain the loop element in Salesforce Flow. I will explain what a loop element is, when it can be used, and provide a real-time scenario with a step-by-step explanation.
