#  Do While

The Do While loop runs a block of code at least once. It then keeps running that block as long as a certain condition is true. Use this when you need to do something first, then check if you should keep doing it.

## How to Use the Do While Loop

Add a Do While loop to your process to repeat actions based on a condition.

### Step 1: Add the Do While Loop

1.  Drag and drop the **Do While** step into your process flow.
2.  Put the actions you want to repeat inside the Do While loop.

### Step 2: Set Up Parameters

Set up how the loop behaves using the input parameters.

## Parameters Explained

**Step Name** (Optional)

-   A custom name for this step in your process. This helps you find the step in the editor.
-   **Example:** "Retry Login"

**Append variable** (Optional)

-   Pick a variable you set up earlier in your process.
-   The loop can use this variable in its condition or change it while the loop runs.
-   **When to use it:** To count how many times the loop runs or to change data that affects when the loop stops.

**Condition expression** (Required)

-   A true/false statement that decides if the loop should keep going.
-   The loop repeats as long as this condition is true.
-   **Example:** `counter < 5` (The loop keeps going as long as the `counter` variable is less than 5).
-   **When to use it:** To control how many times the loop runs or to stop it when something specific happens.
