3. Select the required action: > [Action Name]. Make sure to fill in the required information.
4. Once the information is added, click on the Execute button.
5. Once the action is successfully executed, the result (success or failure) will be displayed on the Case wall.
6. The result contains different JSON output and data tables based on different actions.

## Invoke Action Automatically (from Playbook/Block)

Actions can be added as a step in a playbook. This action will be run when the playbook is executed. Playbooks, in turn, can be triggered on cases and alerts based on the conditions determined by the user.  
To add an action as a part of the playbook, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Response > Playbooks
2. Select any existing playbook or create a new one.
3. Click on the + Open Step Selection button, and navigate to the Actions tab.
4. Under Infoblox integration, all the actions available in the integration would be visible. Simply, drag and drop the action required to the playbook step.
5. The action should now be added to the playbook. Make sure to configure the input parameters (if applicable) for the action.
