If you would like a policy to execute a task that is not provided by a built-in action, you can create a custom action to perform the work. For example, a custom action can consist of a Java class or a Groovy script that performs the required task, such as running a test, creating a required attribute or logging an entry in an external database. You can insert custom actions into a policy just like you would insert a built-in action.
