In a scenario, an Action element extends the “what” part of the scenario. While an Event element defines what the site visitor does, an Action element defines what the system does in response. For example, you can have the system send an e-mail, modify a specific attribute in a user’s profile, or display a specific piece of content in a slot. (For more information on slots, see the Creating Scenarios chapter of the ATG Personalization Guide for Business Users.)
This section describes the Action elements provided with ATG Commerce for use in scenarios. These commerce Action elements are in addition to those provided with the Scenarios module. For information about scenarios, how to use Action elements in scenarios, and non-commerce Action elements, refer to the Creating Scenarios chapter of the ATG Personalization Guide for Business Users.
If the Action elements provided with ATG Commerce do not meet all of your requirements, your application developers can create custom ones. Custom Action elements appear in the ATG Control Center, and you can use them as you would use any standard Action element.
Note for developers:For information about creating custom Action elements, refer to the Adding Custom Events, Actions, and Conditions to Scenarios chapter in the ATG Personalization Programming Guide. If you need to extend the Scenario module’s grammar for use with custom ATG Commerce elements, also refer to the Commerce-Related Grammar Configuration section of the Configuring the ATG Expression Editor chapter in the same guide.
The Action elements provided with ATG Commerce are listed below in alphabetical order.
