Benefit Actions are executed when a benefit is assigned to a member. For example, when a member is upgraded from Silver to Gold tier, the member gets priority support as an entitlement. This benefit requires a downstream action to create a priority service entitlement record in the Service Cloud. The record is created in the Service Cloud through benefit actions. The benefit action is executed to create the Priority Support Entitlement record when the Priority Support benefit is assigned to the member. products: - Loyalty Management release: "264" --- # Benefit Actions Benefit Actions are actions that can be triggered for a benefit.

For example, when a member changes from Silver to Gold tier and is eligible for Priority Support. - When the benefit is updated: The Benefit Action execution is optional when a new benefit is updated. The execution is based on the Benefit Action definition. For example, when a member retains Gold tier and the period for the Priority Support must be extended. - When the benefit no longer applies: The Benefit Action execution is optional and based on the Benefit Action definition. For example, when a member moves from Gold to Silver tier and the Priority Support benefit no longer applies. ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-loyalty_management-264-0-0-production-enus/0590ce3e-5a09-45ab-8e5e-68f359c35886/images/icon_note.png) Note The same Benefit Action is triggered for all the preceding scenarios based on the Benefit Action configuration.
