Actions
How actions work in TrialStack as reusable operational behaviors that can run workflow logic, AI-assisted steps, and bounded execution patterns.
Why it matters
flowchart LR
Need[Repeatable need] --> Action[Reusable action]
Action --> Review[Reviewable execution]
Actions explain how TrialStack packages operational behavior into repeatable units instead of requiring teams to rebuild the same workflow logic each time.
How it works
flowchart LR
Purpose[Purpose] --> Action[Action]
Inputs[Inputs] --> Action
Action --> Runs[Runs]
An action is a reusable capability with a defined purpose, input shape, and execution boundary. It creates consistency across repeated work and gives the team a stable thing to trigger, review, and improve over time.
When to use it
flowchart TD
Repeat[Task repeats] --> Action[Use an action]
OneOff[One-off task] --> Manual[Stay manual]
This concept matters when a task should be executed the same way across multiple records, teams, or workflow moments.
What to watch for
flowchart LR
Action[Action] --> Run[Run]
Run --> Review[Review]
Review --> Trust[Trusted result]
An action is not just a button label. It is the reusable behavior behind the button, and it still depends on the surrounding run and review workflow to make the result trustworthy.
