Process Builder now supports bulkified process from Winter 16 release. This article explains how Process Builder can be used to build bulkified transactions.
Invocable Method:
The Invocable method will allow an Apex method to be executed as an invocable action.
Apex Class:
Public class AutoConvertLeads
{
@InvocableMethod
public static void LeadAssign(List<Lead> LeadIds)
{
for(Lead currLead: LeadIds){
Database.LeadConvert Leadconvert = new Database.LeadConvert();
Leadconvert.setLeadId(currLead.Id);
LeadStatus Leads= [SELECT Id, MasterLabel FROM LeadStatus WHERE IsConverted=true ];
Leadconvert.setConvertedStatus(Leads.MasterLabel);
Database.LeadConvertResult Leadconverts = Database.convertLead(Leadconvert);
System.assert(Leadconverts.isSuccess());
}
}
}The steps involved in calling the Apex class that supports bulkified transactions in Process Builder.

Limitations of Process Builder :
- Using Data loader, we can convert only up to 100 leads.
- SOQL supports 100 per-transaction limit.
