Provide required details in the respective sections to create a new action:

- In the Basic Information section, provide a name and description of the action in the Action name and Description fields respectively. Select an action to specify CSAM to send alert messages by either Email (Via Qualys)/Send Email (Your SMTP), Post to Slack or Send to Pager Duty. For the selected action, provide default message settings.

- We support these three actions: Send Email (Via Qualys)/Send Email (Your SMTP), Post to Slack and Send to Pager Duty for alerts.
