# Actions

> Create and manage custom actions for your staff.

***

## What are Actions?

Actions are custom tasks your staff can run, such as a server check. When staff run an action, it's logged and they can answer form questions you set.

Actions keep tasks consistent and collect the information you need.

## Server Actions

</Frame>

The **Actions** page lists all your actions. Each one shows its name, description, linked channel, number of form questions and creation date, with options to edit or delete it.

You can create up to 20 actions. You can also link an action to a [reminder](/Dashboard/reminders-actions/reminders).
