context information being changed in one of the actions each action in the sequence executes independently and should not depend on the results or side effects of previous actions in the same multi

actions support callback properties that allow chaining actions together onsuccess execute after successful completion onfinished execute after any completion oncancel execute if action is cancelled { "type" "purchase", "productid" "premium article", "price" 1 99, "currency" "usd", "onsuccess" { "type" "opencontent", "issueid" "premium article 123" } } conditional values some properties support conditional values that change based on application state or user properties these require developer configuration parameters usage the params object allows passing additional data navigation parameters for url generation view specific configuration options form pre population data best practices testing always test configurations in development before production user experience use confirmation dialogs judiciously for destructive actions pricing ensure currency and pricing match app store configuration urls verify all paths work correctly in your application setup product ids must match configured in app purchases exactly
