# Policy Actions ### Actions Actions are the result of a triggered policy. When a policy is triggered, all of the actions associated with the policy are executed. Policy actions enable notifications or other events to be effectuated as a result of a triggered policy. ### Action Types **Alert:** Email or Slack alerts will be generated by a triggered policy. Configurations for Email and Slack actions are from within the [Admin->Integrations](/administration/organization-settings/integration.md). **Gate Release:** Choose whether to fail the build based on the triggering of this policy. **Attribute Source:** For license policies, you may choose to automatically attribute source files with the appropriate license. This action causes the license header to be included in your source code and for a pull request to be generated for merging with the main/master branch. **Update Library Version:** For security policies, the component to which a vulnerability is associated may be automatically upgraded to the latest or next secure version. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
