You can add action buttons to notifications to allow yourself to react to a notification directly. This is incredibly
useful and has countless applications.
You can control your home appliances (open/close garage door, change temperature on thermostat, ...), react to common
monitoring alerts (clear logs when disk is full, ...), and many other things. The sky is the limit.
As of today, the following actions are supported:
* [`view`](#open-websiteapp): Opens a website or app when the action button is tapped

You can set up to three user actions in your notifications, using either of the following methods:
### Defining actions
You can define **up to three user actions** in your notifications, using either of the following methods:
* In the `X-Actions` header, using the **simple format**
* As a **JSON array** in the `actions` key, when [publishing as JSON](#publish-as-json)
* In the [`X-Actions` header](#using-a-header), using a simple comma-separated format
* As a [JSON array](#using-a-json-array) in the `actions` key, when [publishing as JSON](#publish-as-json)
Using the `X-Actions` header (or any of its aliases: `Actions`, `Action`) and the **simple format** (details see below), you
can create the above notification like this.
#### Using a header
To define actions using the `X-Actions` header (or any of its aliases: `Actions`, `Action`), use the following format:
=== "Header format (long)"
```
action=<action1>, label=<label1>, paramN=... [; action=<action2>, label=<label2>, ...]
```
=== "Header format (short)"
```
<action1>, <label1>, paramN=... [; <action2>, <label2>, ...]
```
The `action=` and `label=` prefix are optional in all actions, and the `url=` prefix is optional in the `view` and `http` action.
The format has **some limitations**: You cannot use `,` or `;` in any of the values, and depending on your language/library, UTF-8
characters may not work. Use the [JSON array format](#using-a-json-array) instead to overcome these limitations.
As an example, here's how you can create the above notification using this format. Refer to the [`view` action](#open-websiteapp) and
[`http` action](#send-http-request) section for details on the specific actions:
=== "Command line (curl)"

The `view` action opens a website or app when the action button is tapped, e.g. a browser, a Google Maps location, or

The `view` action **opens a website or app when the action button is tapped**, e.g. a browser, a Google Maps location, or
even a deep link into Twitter or a show ntfy topic. How exactly the action is handled depends on how Android and your
desktop browser treat the links. Normally it'll just a link in the browser.

### Send Android broadcast
The `broadcast` action sends an [Android broadcast](https://developer.android.com/guide/components/broadcasts) intent

or [Tasker](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm), which basically means
you can do everything your phone is capable of. Examples include taking pictures, launching/killing apps, change device
settings, write/read files, etc.
Here's an example using the simple format:
By default, the intent **`io.heckel.ntfy.USER_ACTION`** is broadcast, though this can be changed with the `intent` parameter (see below).
