# Repeat Task

> Repeat specific tasks multiple times in your automation

The Repeat Task block allows you to run a specific sequence of blocks multiple times. Unlike Loop Data or Loop Elements, this block is perfect for simple repetitions where you don't need to iterate through data.

## Inputs

### ☐ Number of Times *(Required)*

How many times to repeat the selected sequence.

<Note type="success">
  **Good Examples:**

  * "5" to fill out a form five times
  * "3" to retry a failed action
  * "10" to test a process multiple times
</Note>

<Note type="danger">
  **Invalid Values:**

  * "0" (must be 1 or higher)
  * Negative numbers
</Note>

### ☐ Start Block *(Required)*

Choose which block to start repeating from:

## Notes

<Warning>
  * Use Loop Data instead if you need to iterate through datasets
  * Ensure your repeat count is reasonable to prevent excessive runs
  * Consider using conditions to break the repeat if needed
  * Test with a small number of repeats first
</Warning>
