# Actions
An action is a task that is run for every event created by an app.
An action joins an action type with app data. For example, "Send SMS" would be the action type and "+1-123-123-1234" would be the phone number in the app data.
Some examples of actions could be:
- Send SMS to
+1-123-123-1234 - Send email to
john@example.com - Create ticket in the
RoutegyTrello board - Send pager alert to
user@example.comvia PagerDuty
