This API creates an action of the specified action type. Actions are associated with rules which listen for events. When an event occurs that causes a rule to evaluate to true, then the Ayla Rule Engine performs the action(s) associated with the rule. Action names must be unique for a particular user. See also [Get action types](ref:get-action-types). Actions include one or more parameters that supply the action with values (e.g. set the Blue_LED property to 1; post a json object to an endpoint). The action type dictates which parameters are required. The following are examples for some of the action types: ###Datapoint The required parameter is ```datapoint```, which contains an ARES expression that assigns a value to a to-device property. ***Example request data***

{
     "action": {
          "name": "datapointExample",
          "type": "DATAPOINT",
          "parameters": {
               "datapoint": "DATAPOINT(TESTDSN_763168_004 ,  boolean_input_tp) = 1"
          }
     }
}

###URL The required parameters are ```body```, a stringified JSON object, and ```endpoint```, a url. The primary purpose of this action type is to post the ```body``` to the ```endpoint```, replacing placeholders in ```body``` with values taken from the triggering event. It is the responsibility of the service to retrieve additional data as needed. The Alexa OAuth helper is an example of such a service. ***Example request data***

{
  "action": {
    "name": "URL endpoint1",
    "type": "URL",
    "parameters": {
      "body": "{'key':'value'}",
      "endpoint": "https://webhooks/endpoint1"
    }
  }
}
