| * **Actions** extend processes called flows, which are made up of one or more triggers, and which represent the logical pipeline through which information moves during a single point in the Auth0 journey. To learn more about available flows and triggers, read [Explore Flows and Triggers](/docs/customize/actions/explore-triggers). | ||
| * **Rules** run when artifacts for user authenticity are generated (i.e., an <Tooltip tip="ID Token: Credential meant for the client itself, rather than for accessing a resource." cta="View Glossary" href="/docs/glossary?term=ID+Token">ID Token</Tooltip> in <Tooltip tip="ID Token: Credential meant for the client itself, rather than for accessing a resource." cta="View Glossary" href="/docs/glossary?term=OpenID">OpenID</Tooltip> Connect (OIDC)), an <Tooltip tip="Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML): Standardized protocol allowing two parties to exchange authentication information without a password." cta="View Glossary" href="/docs/glossary?term=Access+Token">Access Token</Tooltip> in <Tooltip tip="Access Token: Authorization credential, in the form of an opaque string or JWT, used to access an API." cta="View Glossary" href="/docs/glossary?term=OAuth+2.0">OAuth 2.0</Tooltip>, or an assertion in <Tooltip tip="OAuth 2.0: Authorization framework that defines authorization protocols and workflows." cta="View Glossary" href="/docs/glossary?term=Security+Assertion+Markup+Language">Security Assertion Markup Language</Tooltip> (SAML). | ||
| * **Hooks** provide additional extensibility for when there is an exchange of non-user related artifacts, and for when user identities are created. | ||
| * **Actions** are secure, tenant-specific, versioned functions written in Node.js that execute at certain points within the Auth0 platform. Actions are used to customize and extend Auth0’s capabilities with custom logic. For more information, read [Understand how Auth0 Actions Work](/docs/customize/actions/actions-overview). |
