Action types

Triggers are configured with one or more Actions. Actions describe the work that is done when a trigger executes.

Below you will find a list of Action types and their corresponding descriptions. The same Action descriptions are accessible in the MFT Server Manager, either by selecting the AUTOMATION > Triggers > Actions tab, or when adding an Action (select an Action from the dropdown list, then hover over the "i" (information) icon to see the description in a tool tip).
