# Actions

Actions are customizable, user-built scripts that allow for automation on any site. \
\
Actions allow users to automate and "fill in the pieces" on sites that Lightning does not support by default.&#x20;

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Creating Actions" %}
Actions are built through a "step by step" basis on every site.&#x20;

1. Under the actions tab, hit "New Action"
2. Fill in the appropriate fields based on what Lightning needs to accomplish on the site. \
   For example, if Lightning needs to click a button as fast as possible. I will select "Click" as the action with no delay.&#x20;
3. Each step of the process/automations regards a unique action. Since they build upon each other, select "Add Action".&#x20;
4. Repeat Step 2
5. Once you have completed the flow, "Save" the action.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Building actions is all based on what the user wants to accomplish on a site. Therefore, it takes lots of user experimentation and trial + error. There is no one correct collection of actions.&#x20;
{% endhint %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Importing/Exporting Actions" %}
Actions can be imported and exported between users. With certain drops, staff will share actions for users.&#x20;
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
