# Journey Action Steps

Journey action steps are custom actions that you can create to trigger each step of the journey.  Each step will have a set of journey actions that can be used to trigger each step.

For example, the action 'Event Triggered' is used, as the name states, to trigger a Journey. This can either lead to a 'Wait for Event' or directly lead to a send communication - either SMS, Email, or WhatsApp. Each of these events will also have a menu of Journey actions Steps that can easily be used to create and complete your journey.&#x20;
