# Actions
Actions define the tasks your AI agent can perform during a conversation, such as creating a support ticket, checking an order status, or listing payment methods. Every action consists of a name, description, and a defined set of input and output parameters.
Actions
The AI agent automatically invokes actions based on how a skill or flow is configured. When an action is triggered, it can use the returned values to personalize responses or continue the conversation accordingly.
For example:
- If a customer asks to cancel an order, the agent can trigger the
request_order_cancellation
action. - If the action requires more information, such as an
order_id
, the agent can prompt the customer to provide it.
# Create an action
Complete the following steps to create an action:
Select your AI agent.
Go to Actions > Actions Definitions.
Click New Action.
Select an existing flow to associate with the action.
Enter an action name in the Name field. For example, create_support_ticket
.
Enter an action description in the Description field. For example:
If the agent can't assist or the customer requests human help, use this action to create a support case.
Specify input and output parameters for your action. For example, you can define the following input parameters for the create_support_ticket
action:
name
email
subject
description
You can then define status
as an output parameter.
Click Submit to create the action.
