Create a loop in a workflow to repeat a set of tools for multiple files

I have a set of daily files that I need to go back through and retroactively update, and rather than manually doing that or manually dropping them into a workflow to update them, I'm curious if there is a way to use a dynamic input tool, then one at a time bring in each file from it and execute a set of tools for that file before outputting it where it needs to be and then repeating that all for the next file in the set. Is this possible within Alteryx?

Sounds like a great case for a batch macro! You can package the set of tools in this batch macro and feed in the list of files for the batch macro to process one by one
