Action Groups
When your conditions and condition groups have met their rules to provide a true value and execution can continue, we move on to the "Action Groups" and the actions that will then run.
The most simple outcome is that a single action will execute, such as being able to send a message and some configuration for how this message will be handled i.e. deleted after a delay or pinned when it is sent.
Availability Of Actions To Be Run
Modr8 supports an array of actions that can be executed, from sending simple messages to being able to execute admin and moderation commands. The table below outlines the current set of options along with a short description of their usage and what they do.
| Action | Description |

Send Image | Send a photo to the chat based on a file ID or web url. Option to also add a caption to the image. |

Managing Actions & Action Groups
As with our conditions, you are able to add another action within this group. By adding another action, you are creating a series of actions which will execute in the order that you have specified. For example, here we will delete a message (the one sent to cause the conditions to run) and then we will send an action to kick the user who sent the message.
Again, as with our condition group, you will notice in the header next to the "Action Group 1" we have the "Run All Actions In Group" drop-down and between the two actions that are set to run you will see the "----- AND ----" notation.
This is telling us that the more actions we add to this group, the bot is going to run each of them in turn until completed.
As with our condition groups, we also have the option to add new Action Groups. By doing this, we offer a random rotation of which action group set will be executed when our condition rules are matched.
The benefit of having this functionality is that you can randomise the action outcomes, maybe you want to give out random reputation or change an image based on random chance. This is precisely how the Russian roulette game works in our Action Marketplace.
Special Action Targets
You may notice, in our condition rules we are to set the following parameters:
Replies To A User
Mentions A User
When adding these conditions to a condition group you unlock the ability for your actions to "target" a specific user for action types which involve "moderation"
Since we have conditions which are concerned with "replied to" and "mentions a" we now have the option to specify the target, which includes:
The originating user - As per the standard action option when special conditions do not exist
The replied to user - The condition has identified a user has been replied to and we want to target that person
The mentioned user - The condition has identified a user has been mentioned in the message and we want to target that person
Either the replied or mentioned user - Combination of both of the above
Why is this useful? It means we can produce actions that target users other than the person who sent the message and therefore build out commands that mimick our own moderation commands. Maybe you want to ban a user if they are mentioned, maybe you want to make reputation rain down with a special !rain @user type of command. All are now possible with these options.
