Add an Action

You can add a new action to a rule to meet a need in your organization that the predefined actions and existing custom actions do not meet. For example, you can add one new action to run a command when a request of a certain class changes status from Pending Approval to Approved.

Note: You can add new actions (create custom actions) in both custom rules and predefined (built-in) rules.
