Do While

Overview

The Do While task is a control flow task that repeatedly executes a set of tasks until a specified condition is no longer met. It provides loop-like behavior inside a workflow, allowing workflows to handle iterations dynamically.

Note: Nesting of a DO_WHILE task within another DO_WHILE task is not supported.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
_name	String	No	Name the do-while task.

_sequenceno	Number	No	Defines the execution order of the task within a workflow.
_inputParams	Object	No	Key-value pairs representing input parameters for the task.
value	Number	No	Example input parameter used in the loop condition.
_loopCondition	String	Yes	Enter a loop expression that is evaluated on each iteration.
_loopOver	Array of Object	Yes	List of tasks that are executed repeatedly while the loop condition is true.
