Salesforce Flow Builder Loop Types | Salesforce Administrator
In this video (Episode 49 - Part 1), we explore how loops work in Salesforce Flow Builder, when to use them, and how they compare with Transform and Manual loops.
You’ll learn the logic behind iteration, best practices to stay within Salesforce governor limits, and how to design efficient, scalable flows that can process collections safely.

📌 What You’ll Learn:
🔁 Loop Fundamentals
Understand how the Loop element iterates through a collection record by record.
Discover how the “Current Item from Loop” variable works.
⚙️ Transform vs. Loop vs. Manual Loop
When to use a Transform element for collection manipulation.
When a Loop is required for taking actions or making decisions.
Why Manual Loops are risky (infinite loops, CPU limits) and when they’re acceptable.
🚀 Governor Limits & Best Practices
-Collect data before the loop; hit the database only once after.
Avoid SOQL/DML inside loops to prevent hitting Salesforce limits.
Use assignment elements to construct collections before DML.
💡 Performance & Nested Loops
Why nested loops (loop inside loop) increase CPU time exponentially.
Best practices for building scalable and efficient flows.
