I am building a workflow to disable account in a specific source on an attribute change. I am able to read and disable all accounts using GetAccounts and ManageAccounts Actions. However, I am not able to Loop through accounts and disable them only for a specific source ID. Have anyone been able to build workflow using loop for the similar business process? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you Haresh Patel I ---

If you share your current workflow, it will be easier to suggest specific solution based on current config ---

If the workflow is handling a single identity and account needs to be deleted from just one source, then you don’t need to use the loop. You can simply apply a filter like `$.getAccounts.accounts[?(@.sourceId == '2c9180835d2e5168015d32f890ca1581')].id` and use it as input to `Manage Accounts` action Replace `2c9180835d2e5168015d32f890ca1581` with actual Source ID ---

> [@iamnithesh](#): > > .getAccounts.accounts[?(@.sourceId == ‘2c9180835d2e5168015d32f890ca1581’)].id Thank you very much for your help. This change did the trick. However, I wonder what’s wrong with the loop? Anyway to make that work? ---

try this `$.loop.loopInput.id` instead of > [@HPatel](#): > > $.loop.loopInput.accounts[\*].id ---

For some reason, test workflow shows no input for compare string step ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sailpoint/original/3X/2/b/2b27f39fd63bcc598691ee1ae775d80b6eff9587.png) ---

Thanks for all your help. Even though I don’t see any data in compare string step, it actually works. ---

Yeah you don’t see the data for steps inside a loop… time to mark the response as Solution? 😃 ---
