Applies to: SharePoint 2016 | SharePoint Foundation 2013 | SharePoint Online | SharePoint Server 2013

This example shows the general structure of a valid .ACTIONS file that can be used to import custom conditions and actions into a declarative, rules-based code-free workflow editor, such as Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2010.

Example

The following XML is an example of how an .ACTIONS file could be constructed to add Conditions or Actions elements to the default list.
