Add a new action to an existing policy's configuration to define automated responses

Endpoint

POST /api/private/lifecycle_management/policies/{policy_id}/versions/{version_number}:add_action

Description

Add a new action to an existing policy's configuration. Actions define what operations the policy performs when all conditions are met. Multiple actions can be executed in sequence or parallel depending on the action type and dependencies.

New actions are immediately active for policies in the active state. Actions execute in the order they were added to the policy.

Action Configuration

Actions in Veza Lifecycle Management support various operation types. The config field contains action-specific configuration parameters that vary based on the action type. Common action types include:

• SYNC_IDENTITIES - Synchronize identity information

• MANAGE_RELATIONSHIPS - Manage identity relationships

• CREATE_EMAIL - Send email notifications

• DEPROVISION_IDENTITY - Remove or deactivate identities

• WRITE_BACK_EMAIL - Write back email information

• PAUSE - Pause workflow execution

• SEND_NOTIFICATION - Send various types of notifications

• CUSTOM_ACTION - Execute custom action logic

• CREATE_ACCESS_REVIEW - Initiate access review workflows

Each action type requires specific configuration parameters in the config field.
