What is Loop Entity
In straightforward terms, looping means repeating actions. The Loop entity is applied when a user desires to perform a specific task repeatedly. The Loop entity streamlines and automates repetitive tasks, making them more efficient.
For example, if a user aims to access all files in their OneDrive folder, the Loop entity is used. This eliminates the need to run the process multiple times, producing a single file output with each flow execution.
