What Are Action Types?

Using Custom Commands

Once created, custom commands work identically to built-in ones:

@kasava my-custom-action
Team members can use any configured keywords: 
@kasava sec-review  # Uses the security-review action type

​
Managing Action Types

From the Action Types page, you can:
  • View all built-in and custom action types
  • Edit custom action types to update instructions
  • Delete custom action types you no longer need
  • View Instructions to see the AI prompt for any action type

​
Best Practices

  1. Use descriptive names - Make commands self-explanatory (e.g., sprint-summary, qa-checklist)
  2. Add helpful keywords - Include common abbreviations and variations
  3. Write clear instructions - Provide specific guidance for the AI
  4. Test before sharing - Try your command on a test issue first
Custom action types are organization-wide. Any team member can use them once created.
