# Overview

> Reference for workflow action nodes, including action categories, typical use cases, and links to detailed per-action documentation.

Action nodes are the execution steps in your workflow. They transform data, call APIs, notify people, and perform platform operations after a trigger has started the run.

## How To Use Action Nodes

1. Place actions after a trigger or branch decision.
2. Map input values from workflow context (for example `trigger.*` or prior node outputs).
3. Validate response shape before dependent downstream logic.
4. Add failure handling for operations with external side effects.

## Choosing The Right Action

* Use **Advanced Actions** when orchestrating APIs and cross-workflow behavior.
* Use **Data Processing** actions to parse, map, validate, and transform payloads.
* Use **Communication** actions for human-facing notifications.
* Use **Network/Security** actions for infrastructure tasks and key generation.
* Use **Flow Control** actions to terminate or route execution intentionally.

## Action Design Best Practices

* Keep each action focused on one responsibility.
* Normalize and validate data before branching or calling external systems.
* Treat API responses as contracts and guard against missing fields.
* Use retries and fallback paths for critical notifications and integrations.
