Action Steps

Actions can be configured to perform steps on your behalf such as assigning a task, sending an email, or calling an API. To configure an action’s steps, first, click the action you’d like to configure. The left sidebar will display the action’s properties such as its name and color, as well as which steps it should perform. To add a new step, you can click the “New step” link in the left sidebar:
