# Action

An Action is a task that is performed after the trigger command is executed. For any command workflow to work, there has to be at least one action to it. This is a very simple relationship - the trigger event acts as the stimulus for the next step i.e. the action.

Example: In this case, the trigger is the command and it results in two actions - fetch mails from a label and then also fetch Asana tasks.

Actions can occur based on conditions also, which we will cover in the next part of the documentation.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.yellowant.com/workflows/command-workflows/building-command-workflows/action.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
