# Actions

Actions are server-side functions that wrap common Vercel API calls so you can add them to your platform without writing the integration yourself.

**Add custom domain**: Programmatically add a custom domain to a project and check its status. [Learn more →](/docs/platforms/platform-elements/actions/add-custom-domain)

**Deploy files**: Deploy files to a Vercel project on behalf of a user. [Learn more →](/docs/platforms/platform-elements/actions/deploy-files)
