# nv.doForCompanies

This action allows you to apply the actions specified in its `then` parameter to each company provided by the parent action in Sales Navigator.

> There is a limit of 20 companies that this action can be applied to. If the parent action provides more than 20 companies, only the first 20 will be processed.

## Constraints

> ⏺️ **Root Start:** not allowed.

> ⬆️ **Parent Actions:** [nv.searchCompanies](/docs/action-nv-search-companies).

> ⬇️ **Child Actions:** [nv.openCompanyPage](/docs/action-nv-open-company-page).

## Parameters

```json
{
  "actionType": "nv.doForCompanies",
  "then": { ... }
}
```

- `then` – object or array of child actions to apply to each company from the parent action.

## Result options

This action doesn't produce its own distinct result. The effects are visible in the companies that were involved, as they will contain a `then` field with the results of the applied actions. See usage examples for more details.
