The Actions Menu is a powerful feature that allows you to add dynamic interactions to your project. Whether you're looking to fetch data from an external API or generate content using AI models, the Actions Menu provides you with the tools you need to bring your project to life. This guide will walk you through how to effectively use this feature, focusing on two main action types: Prompts and Actions.

Prompts allow you to generate content or perform tasks using AI models. When creating a prompt:
<ol>
<li>Select a Model: Choose the AI model that best suits your needs, whether it's for text generation or image creation. Some options are GPT4, GPT3.5, Google Gemini, DALL-E 2, DALL-E 3, and Replicate</li>
<li>Define the Prompt Details:
<ul>
<li>Name: Assign a descriptive name to your prompt action for easy reference, such as <code>Write Headline</code>.</li>
<li>Prompt: Craft the prompt that will guide the AI in generating your desired output. Use the <code>{{}}</code> syntax to insert dynamic content, such as <code>Write a headline about {{productInput}}</code>, into your prompt.</li>
<li>Output Type: Choose the type of output you expect. For image models, you can select image dimensions. For text models, you can select text or list.</li>
<li>Result Data Key: Specify a key where the result of the action will be stored, like <code>headlineResult</code>. This key will be used to access the generated content within your project.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>

<img src="https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/resource.mixa.site/toolmark/img/img-zapier-action.png"> 
Other actions allow you to integrate with external platforms. When creating an integration action:
<ol>
<li>Select an action type: First off, you'll need to decide what type of action you want to create. The Actions Menu offers a variety of action types such as GET/POST requests, Airtable, Zapier, Mailgun integrations, Scraping URL, getting Youtube transcript etc.</li>
<li>Define the Action Details:
<ul>
<li>Name: Assign a descriptive name to your prompt action for easy reference, such as <code>GetUserData</code>.</li>
<li>Action specific fields: Each action type requires a different set of fields. Fill them out and remember that you can use the <code>{{}}</code> syntax to insert dynamic content, such as <code>{"name": "{{userNameInput}}"}</code> for the POST request action's body field</li>
<li>Result Data Key: This key is where the result of your action will be stored, making it accessible elsewhere in your tool. For instance, if you're fetching user data, you might use a key like <code>userData</code>. This allows you to easily reference and display the fetched data in your tool's UI.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="using-actions"><a aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" href="#using-actions"></a>Using actions</h2>
Once you've created your actions and prompts, you can integrate them into your project by assigning them to components, such as buttons. For example, to fetch data on a button click:
<ol>
<li>Add a Button Component: Place a button on your canvas and label it appropriately, like "Get My Data".</li>
<li>Assign an Action: In the button's settings, select one of the actions you created earlier, such as "Write Headline".</li>
</ol>
To show the results of your actions or prompts:
<ol>
<li>Add Text Component: Add a <a href="/components/elements" title="Text Component">Text Component</a> to display the content generated by your actions (If you used an AI image model, you can add an <a href="/components/elements" title="Image Component">Image Component</a>)</li>
<li>Bind Data: Insert the result data keys using the <code>{{}}</code> syntax, such as <code>{{headlineResult}}</code>, to dynamically display the data fetched or generated by your actions.</li>
</ol>
