Is anyone aware of examples of human\_input being used to kick off a crew? Eg instructing crew which URL to scrape

@achris7 What’s your goal? You need to pass the URL when kicking off the crew anyway (e.g., via Python input so the URL is not hardcoded). Why would you want to use the human input feature to do this?

@rokbenko each new time we run the crew (to audit URL and features let’s say), the target URL + flow or element to be tested will be different. For example today the test is for [ebay.com](http://ebay.com) profile create flow; tomorrow it is [stripe.com](http://stripe.com) onboarding feature xyz.

Perhaps human in the loop isn’t the way but I was thinking human in the loop is the most natural way to provide this different target URL + flow/ element. What do you think?

They way i solved this was using multiple inputs and doing kick\_off\_foreach(), but you could just set your inputs to use url as one of the fields. eg task  
“”“scrape {url} for me today, and provide details about how to create profile information.”  
crew.kickoff(inputs={“url”:“[https://ebay.com](https://ebay.com)”})
