Recursive workflows in Bubble (how to loop through a list)
YouTube Free Intermediate
When you need to touch thousands of records, doing it in one go times out; a recursive backend workflow processes them in safe batches instead. This walks through building that loop from scratch. It is the standard pattern for batch work in Bubble, so it is worth learning once.
- A recursive workflow reschedules itself to process a list in chunks
- Batching avoids timeouts on large updates
- This is how you run big jobs without freezing the app
