Registering Auto Actions

The primary feature of Auto Actions is the ability to register actions to be triggered by events in the application. See Actions.Register(). Actions can be registered to run in response to server events which are differentiated by the message channel (stream) on which an event has occurred. Each stream provides access to certain reserved variables which are accessible from the local scope that provides information about the event.

When an event occurs on a stream, by default, all Actions registered on a stream for an event are run sequentially based on the priority set on the Actions. Priorities are integer values in which lower values take precedence. An Action can prevent all Actions scheduled after it for an event from running by returning the string value "ABORT".
