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

{
  "actionType": "st.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.
