# Action Nodes

## **Action Nodes** <a href="#id-2.-action-nodes" id="id-2.-action-nodes"></a>

**Purpose**: Perform tasks and operations (API calls, data processing, etc.)

**Characteristics:**

* Execute specific operations (create ticket, add tag, set status)
* Require **arguments** (inputs) that can reference previous node outputs
* Return **results** that can be used by subsequent nodes

> **Note on rate limits:** Actions are subject to the rate limits of the connected system. High-frequency workflows may be throttled by the external API.
