# Action Types

> The individual steps inside a challenge

Actions are the steps you complete inside a challenge. Each challenge has one or more actions, and each action can award points, XP, and reward allocations on completion.

Action types vary by community configuration. Common types you'll encounter:

## Question actions

* **Single-answer multiple choice** — pick one answer. Correct / incorrect may affect whether you earn the action's reward.
* **Multi-answer multiple choice** — select the right set of answers, with configurable minimum and maximum selections.
* **Rating** — tap a scale (stars, emoji, 1-10) to indicate your rating.
* **Select from a range** — pick a value inside a continuous or stepped range.
* **Short / long text** — type a free-form response.
* **Question vote** — tap a choice and see the aggregate community response in real time after voting.

## Media actions

* **Image upload** — upload a photo. Actions can require a minimum file size, specific aspect ratio, or content-criteria messages (for example, "must include the product").
* **YouTube video** — watch a YouTube video embedded in the action. The iframe height adapts dynamically based on the video's aspect.
* **Rich-text description** — some actions include rich-text instructions with images, headings, and links before the input.

## Link and social actions

* **External link** — tap through to an external URL. Some external-link actions include a required **wait time** before the action can be marked complete, and attach nonce / metadata so admins can verify the click.
* **Subscribe / follow** — prompts you to follow the community's channel on TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, or similar, then mark the action complete.
* **Like / comment on a post** — performs the interaction against a community post. If the action has a **completion timer**, the action doesn't mark complete until the timer elapses (prevents instant-click spam).

## Structured platform actions

* **Achievement** — an embedded achievement panel inside the wizard. Completing the achievement conditions (in or out of the wizard) unlocks the action.
* **Streak contribution** — contribute to a community streak.
* **Post like / comment inside wizard** — like or comment without leaving the wizard.

## Action-level rewards

Individual actions can carry their own rewards in addition to the challenge's overall reward. When you finish an action, any action-level reward is awarded before you move on.

## Hints and help

Some actions include hints that appear if you pause or after a wrong answer. Hints are configured per-action by the admin.

## Skipping and correct-answer handling

Some challenges allow you to skip actions (with or without a penalty). When the community enforces correct answers, incorrect responses may block progress until the right answer is chosen.

## Rich-text descriptions

Action descriptions support rich text — headings, bold, lists, inline images, and links. Use them to read the full brief before answering.
