Actions in Mailocator
Controlling Mailocator with Actions opens up a number of options for modeling your campaigns
What are Actions?
Actions are simple calls to Mailocator, in order to complete user interaction - typically closing or sending a window.
In addition, it is possible to chain actions, for example, to ensure that after successful submission of the form, the window closes itself in the selected number of seconds.
Actions can be written directly to the source code or by the user in the Designer.

onclick="mailocator.action.do('subscribe|close:3')"Overview of supported Actions
The list of supported Actions for individual objects (pop-ups, notifications, ...) may differ.
You can get a valid list, including the correct parameters, in Scenarios in the drop-down menu of a specific object, for example, the following list of actions is displayed for pop-ups:
