Actions have one and only one start node and many end nodes. Every input or output terminal on a node must be connected to something. Each action node has two outputs: success and failure. Depending on the outcome of the action node execution flows left (success) or right (failure). Hold the mouse over the terminal so see a tool tip labeling which is success and which is failure. Both flows of execution (success and failure) are terminated.
See Action examples for further details of how an action is created.
In actions that you can insert a script you can send formatted output with your action. See Using formatted inputs and outputs for further information.
