# Actions

## Understand Actions

Actions in Hippoly help you stay on top of tasks and follow-ups, whether they’re shared with your team or just for you.

All **workspace users** can create, update, and delete actions, making it easy to collaborate and take ownership of what needs to get done.\
Each action includes a **title**, and can also have an optional **description**, **due date**, and **assigned responsible user**.

You can also create **private actions,** ideal for personal to-dos, which are only visible to you.

Each **workspace** has its own action list, giving everyone a clear overview of shared responsibilities.\
As a user, you also have a **personal action list** that brings together:

* All actions assigned to you across your workspaces
* Your private actions

Actions can be created **during meetings** to quickly capture next steps. There's no need for linking, they’ll automatically appear in the workspace’s action list.

To keep things moving, Hippoly sends **automatic notifications** to the assigned user when an action is about to be due, and again when it becomes overdue.
