# Activities

## :rocket: What is an Activity?

An activity can be set up to be anything from **a simple email send-out to a more advanced campaign** with multiple communication channels and following actions. Simply define what your activity should do with the help of four main components.

## The Components of an Activity:

There are usually four main components to an activity; **firing conditions, trigger, segment and action(s)**. 

However, if you are sending an activity on a specific date and time, you simply need to select the date and time without the need for firing conditions or a trigger. 

Below you have a short summary of these main components and links where to get more information about each one.

## :calendar: Firing Conditions

The Firing Conditions allow you to set up general conditions for your campaigns. These include how many times an activity will fire per user, scheduling, and conversion tracking.

## :zap: Trigger

A trigger is a defining moment when you wish your activity to fire and put your actions into movement.

## :couple: Segment

A segment is a defined set of rules that separate a player or a group of players from the rest.

## :clapper: Action(s)

Actions define what type(s) of player engagement(s) will happen when an activity is triggered.
