# Action Action modules are straightforward modules that make one or more requests and return a single bundle as result. Each execution is isolated, so they do not have a state like [polling triggers](/custom-apps-documentation/app-components/modules/trigger.md) and they can't be used to output multiple bundles like [search modules](/custom-apps-documentation/app-components/modules/search.md).\ \ You should use an action module when the API endpoint returns a single item in the response.\ \ Some examples of common action modules include: * Create an object * Update a user * Delete an email * Get a record (by its ID) * Download/Upload a file --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://developers.make.com/custom-apps-documentation/app-components/modules/action.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
