When creating new Actions in your Company Actions page, they will only apply to inspections that are created after the Action was added.
But if you have an inspection that is already created, and you want to make a new action apply to that existing inspection, it's easy to do! You can import newly created actions!
Importing a New Action
Create your new action on your Company Actions Page
Click "Dashboard"
Click on the inspection that you'd like to import the new action to
Click "Import New Actions" at the bottom of the page
Click "Import New Actions" to confirm
Click "View All Inspection Actions" to see all Actions available for the inspection, including the newly imported Action
You can click into each group to view the Actions

What to Know About Importing New Actions
π It is important to note that a new Action will not fire if the Triggering Event has already happened in that inspection.
For example, let's say you added a new Action to Send an Email > To Clients > At Time of Inspection Scheduled > On All Inspections.
If you have any existing inspections that have already been "Scheduled" (the Triggering Event), your new Action will not apply, even if you use the Import New Actions button, because that event is in the past.
On the other hand, let's say you have an inspection that was just scheduled yesterday, and you added an Action to Send an Email > To Clients > At Time of Reports Published > On All Inspections.
You can click the Import New Actions button, and the emails will fire when the Report is Published (the Triggering Event) because it will happen in the future!
To put it simply: a new Action must be imported to an inspection before the triggering event occurs.
New Actions will always apply to all New Inspections created after the Action was created on your Company Actions page.
