Connect the nodes

In the designer window drag the arrow of the connector from the Start node

and drop it on the While node. Drag the arrow from theWhile node to the

 Custom Action node. Then drag the arrow from the Custom Action node to the Loop node. Finally, drag the arrow from the Loop node to the Stop node.
