# Actions

Actions act as outputs from a rule. To receive an output from the rule, the action needs to be configured to a Signal and a Virtual Station. A maximum of 10 actions can be configured per rule. In case of multiple triggers, an action or multiple actions are executed when the trigger condition is met.
