# 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.
