actions do not require any additional configuration, and are listed here
automatically. Advanced actions need to be created and configured before they
can be used, because they have options that need to be specified; for example,
sending an e-mail to a specified address, or unpublishing content containing
certain words.
To create an advanced action, select the action from the drop-down list in the
advanced action section below and click the
Create button.
