An ACTION file is a file written in Xcode used by Automator, a program for creating automations in macOS. It contains specific actions that can be combined to create automated processes, saved as .WORKFLOW documents. These actions automate repetitive tasks like creating folders, editing images in Photoshop, or deleting files. Default system Automator actions files are located in /System/Library/Automator. User Automator actions files are located in Library/Automator under macOS.
Files with .action extension are saved action scripts for Automator application. Steps to open ACTION files: Install an ACTION-compatible program and check the file is downloaded completely, as damaged files may fail to open. Verify the ACTION extension description in the macOS registry.
Usually opening ACTION files is simple – just install the software and open the file. Similar file types associate ACTION extension but need different applications to handle each. The ACTION format was developed by Apple, likely generated by Mac OS X. Tools to work with ACTION files include ACTION File Opener, Converter, Viewer and Editor.
