Actions are how you define activities that happens after a step is satified. Actions are not a top-level key like models or funnels. Instead they live inside steps, which live inside funnels (see example at bottom in funnels).

​
Parameters

type
string
required

This is the type of the action. For example, slack, email, sms, or webhook. See the Action Types section for more details

args
object
required

Detailed parameters for the action. These can use liquid templating for each recursive value in the args object. See the Action Types. For detailed examples of the shape of the args parameter.

​
Templating Args

you can use liquid to template the string values in the action.args object.

For example, let’s say you want to send a congrats text to a customer after they complete onboarding. The action might look like

{
  "type": "sms",
  "args": {
    "number": "{{modelProperties.number}}",
    "content": "Congrats {{displayName}}!"
  }
}

when the step is statisfied the action would turn into something like

{
  "type": "sms",
  "args": { "number": "+14248349987", "content": "Congrats Justin!" }
}

which would eventually turn into send a sms to 14248349987 saying Congrats Justin!.
These action objects have access to these parameters.
