Actions

Define what happens when triggers fire with reusable actions.

What are Actions?

Actions are the building blocks of your automations. They define what happens when a trigger condition is met. Actions are reusable and can be attached to multiple triggers.

Action Types

Slack Message

Send a message to a Slack channel or user. Supports:

  • Plain text messages
  • Block Kit formatting
  • Variable interpolation from trigger data

HTTP Request

Make HTTP requests to external APIs. Configure:

  • URL and HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
  • Headers and authentication
  • Request body with variable interpolation

AI Agent

Process the event with an AI agent. The agent can:

  • Analyze and summarize data
  • Generate responses
  • Use tools to take additional actions

Creating an Action

  1. Navigate to Actions
  2. Click New Action
  3. Select the action type
  4. Configure the action settings

Using Variables

Actions can access data from the trigger event using Liquid-style variables:

New order received!
Order ID: {{ payload.order_id }}
Amount: ${{ payload.amount }}

Action Outputs

Every action execution is logged. You can view:

  • Input data from the trigger
  • Action output and response
  • Execution time and status
  • Error messages if the action failed
