You can use the Loop activity in a workflow to send follow-up emails to a list of contacts. First, use the Get Records element to retrieve the contacts who attended an event. Then, the Loop activity will iterate through each contact in the collection variable, and for each one, an email will be sent. Once all emails are sent, the flow will exit the loop and proceed to the next step.
