Action

An action created during rule analysis.

This object is visible for the purpose of testing, and may be obtained from an Actions provider. It is normally not necessary to access Action objects or their fields within a rule's implementation function. You may instead want to see the Rules page for a general discussion of how to use actions when defining custom rules, or the API reference for creating actions.

Some fields of this object are only applicable for certain kinds of actions. Fields that are inapplicable are set to None.
