# Actions best practices

**Custom Apex actions/rules/variables**

* The custom apex Actions/Rules/Variables must control the SalesForce limits and in case of approaching them must throw the Work-Relay LimitException.
* The custom apex Actions which executes in background must handle SalesForceSF exceptions in a good manner.

**Step actions vs. global actions**

* Avoid using Global Actions on Steps when possible to use Step Actions.
