• Select the Integration Type from the dropdown, which lists all available integrations.

• Choose a Category from the dropdown to classify your action.

• Specify any Python Clients required for the action.

• Add Parameters by clicking + Add; this will list available parameters.

• In the Code window, write your Python script for the action.
