Use this interactive demo to learn how to use the Split in Batches node in n8n.

‍

‍

It is very easy to use the Split in Batches (now Loop Over Items) node in n8n. Here’s a short tutorial on how to do it:

‍

  1. Inside your n8n workflow, go to the right-hand panel and click 'Open Nodes Panel'.
  2. Choose 'Flow' to proceed.
  3. After that, find and select 'Loop Over Items (Split in Batches)' from the list of options.
  4. Go to the 'Batch Size' section and enter your preferred value into the provided input field.
  5. Subsequently, click the 'Add Option' button if you wish to customize the node further.
  6. Once done, click 'Execute Step' to apply the changes.
  7. Finally, the Split in Batches (now Loop Over Items) node will be added to your n8n workflow.

📌 Why this matters

Processing large datasets in automation workflows can quickly overwhelm APIs and servers, causing timeouts or rate limit violations. The Loop Over Items node lets you break massive data sets into manageable chunks, ensuring your workflows run reliably even with thousands of records.

Beyond preventing errors, this approach actually improves performance by allowing parallel processing of batches and gives you precise control over resource consumption. You can balance speed with system stability, making your automations more robust and considerate of downstream services.
