# Batch-process records with loop

> Use Get Records + Loop to process multiple records in a single workflow run

<Tip>We recommend building automation examples directly in AI chat. Just describe the workflow you want, and AI will handle the full setup for you, including the trigger, actions, script, and configuration.</Tip>

## Build with AI

Open the AI Chat in your table's right sidebar and tell AI what you want. For example, you can say:

*"Every day at 8am, find all tasks where the due date has passed and status is not Overdue, then update their status to Overdue"*

AI will create the complete workflow automatically. You can review the generated script, test it with real data, and enable the workflow when ready.

## Manual setup

1. **Create a workflow** with trigger **At Scheduled Time** — daily at 08:00.
2. **Add an action** → **Get Records**.
   * Table: **Tasks**
   * Filter: `Due Date` **is before** `today` AND `Status` **is not** `Overdue`
3. Click **Test** to see matching records.
4. **Add an action** → **Update Record**.
5. Click **Loop Run** below the table selector.
6. Select the array output from the Get Records step.
7. Map:
   * Record ID → the current item's record ID (via **+**)
   * Status → `Overdue`
8. Click **Test**, then **enable**.

## How It Works

The Get Records step returns an array. The Update Record step with Loop enabled iterates through each item and updates it individually, in order.
