You can use Flows actions with your form to:

* Create custom server-side validations for your form steps.
* Integrate with your own API making custom HTTP requests.
* Integrate with 3rd parties using our out-of-the-box integrations.
* Execute different business logic based based on user input or properties.
* Validate data using <Tooltip tip="JSON Web Token (JWT): Standard ID Token format (and often Access Token format) used to represent claims securely between two parties." cta="View Glossary" href="/docs/glossary?term=JSON+Web+Tokens">JSON Web Tokens</Tooltip>.
