# Featured Action Nodes

This Topic features some nice-to-know Action Nodes relevant to logic, functionality and flow.

## Actions Flow

### While

The While action node runs a block of action nodes as long as a condition evaluates to true.

### Foreach & Next Iteration

The Foreach action node loops over objects in a data source and runs a block of action nodes for each object. You may exit a Foreach-loop (prior to looping all objects) using the Next Iteration action node.

### Block

The Block action node has a few settings allowing for either parallel or "first-to-finish" execution of the action nodes inside it.

### Sleep

Adding a Sleep action node to an action will allow the Action to pause for a given number of milliseconds. Can be useful e.g. if collecting data from an external system fails, and you want to retry automatically 2 seconds later.

## Other action nodes
