# nv.doForPeople

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

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

## Constraints

> ⏺️ **Root Start:** not allowed.

> ⬆️ **Parent Actions:** [nv.searchPeople](/docs/action-nv-search-people), [nv.retrieveCompanyEmployees](/docs/action-nv-retrieve-company-employees), [nv.retrieveCompanyDMs](/docs/action-nv-retrieve-company-dms).

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

## Parameters

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

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

## Result options

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