In plain language
An API returns, say, 100 records at a time, and the automation must ask for the next page until there are none left.
Example
A workflow fetches contacts using a cursor from each response until the API returns no next cursor.

Common misconception
The first API response is not always the full result; ignoring pagination silently drops records.
Implementation guidance
Follow the API’s cursor or next link, stop on an empty page, respect rate limits between pages, and avoid offset paging on data that changes mid-run.
