Drupal adding system actions

I want to create an action which sends an email, but it is different from Drupal's built-in email-action. My question is that how should I write one extra action (which is advanced based on Drupal's definition) and add them to this list?

Should I write a module?

Or should I edit the existing files? (which oh! weird)

Or there is already a way to do this?

Solution

  • The examples module has a good explanation of creating a custom action which can be found here

    Otherwise you could have a look at using [Rules module][2]
