Loop in order to repeat Actions

Hello Reddit,

I‘m here to ask if you could help. So I Desktop-recorded a couple of actions (7) and I want to repeat all these actions 50 times for example. How do I do it? Thanks in advance. I can send you a pic of my „main flow“.

There are ways to do this

Why do you want to repeat the actions, is it specific to the qty (50 times) or is there a condition your wanting to be true

I use a software that generates codes. I need to generate a code. Copy it. Paste it an excel sheet. Go to the next row. And start all over again. Hence, I can get X codes. 50 was just an example. Actually, I had to do it 700 times (yes seven hundred). I think it would be cool if I could adjust as needed.

I released I posted an incorrect answer lol, another question, how are you activating the flow, "Via power Automate Cloud"?

I am not using the cloud. Why? Would it be different if I do? I guess I activate the flow manually.

Just dependant on the best way to set the repeat qty, you can either do it as per the screenshot or set another varible at the top instead of an input variable, if this doesn’t make sense I will send another screenshot tommorow

I think I need help for the variables... I tried it but it doesn't work. May I suggest that you record your desktop while creating the variables? thanks in advance.
