# Start Loop

This is a pre-built action in located under the **@Generic element,** instructs the Avo Assure to start the loop for further use.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note-** Without Start Loop we cannot execute the get param Action. We must use Get Param before the Start loop Action.
{% endhint %}

### Syntax      

**Input Value:** `N/A` 

| Argument | Description    |
| -------- | -------------- |
| N/A      | Not Applicable |

**Output Value:** 

| Argument | Description    |
| -------- | -------------- |
| N/A      | Not Applicable |

**Example** 

**Begins the execution of a loop using parameters set by a previous Get Param action**\
\
The **Start Loop** action does not take any input in the Input Value column. It must be preceded by a Get Param action to define the looping criteria. Without **Start Loop**, loop-based operations such as **Get Param** action cannot be executed. The loop will execute the steps between **Start Loop** and **End Loop** for the specified  parameter values. The Start Loop action does not return any result in a dynamic variable.
