1. In Data 360, navigate to the Data Actions Target tab, and click **New**.
2. Choose to create a data action target from scratch or import from data kits and packages.
3. Enter the data action target name.
    
    The Action Target API Name field is auto-filled.
4. Select **Salesforce Platform Event** for the target type.

    When you send an event to Salesforce Platform using a data action, Data Cloud defines the standard event DataObjectDataChgEvent and uses it for publishing messages.
