image::images/alert-flyout-action-type-selection.png[UI for selecting an action type]

Each action must specify a <<alerting-concepts-connectors, connector>> instance. If no connectors exist for that action type, click "Add new" to create one.
When an alert instance matches a condition, the alert is marked as _Active_ and assigned an action group. The actions in that group are triggered.
When the condition is no longer detected, the alert is assigned to the _Recovered_ action group, which triggers any actions assigned to that group.

**Run When** allows you to assign an action to an _action group_. This will trigger the action in accordance with your **Notify every** setting.

Each action must specify a <<alerting-concepts-connectors, connector>> instance. If no connectors exist for that action type, click *Add action* to create one.

Each action type exposes different properties. For example an email action allows you to set the recipients, the subject, and a message body in markdown format. See <<action-types>> for details on the types of actions provided by {kib} and their properties.
