# Execute Command

This action allows you to specify the thing [command](/docs/commands) to be executed on the thing when the automation is triggered.

For instance, you can invoke a machine procedure when a certain condition occurs, for instance:

```plaintext
IF nrPieces > 100 THEN invoke CLEANING
```

> [!WARNING]
> Note that, command execution is subject to the reliability of the communication channel, so avoid configuring back actions for critical situations.
