Terraform Actions enable imperative operations during the Terraform lifecycle. Actions are experimental features that allow performing provider operations at specific lifecycle events (before/after create, update, destroy).
References:
When adding the first action to a provider that has never had one, several one-time scaffolding steps are required:
ProviderWithActions — add an Actions() method to the provider that returns []func() action.Action.ActionData in Configure — the provider's Configure method must set resp.ActionData = v alongside the existing ResourceData, DataSourceData, and EphemeralResourceData assignments.ActionWithConfigure base type — if the provider uses embedded base types (e.g. ResourceWithConfigure), create an equivalent ActionWithConfigure type implementing action.ConfigureRequest / action.ConfigureResponse.namespace) via helper functions, action-schema variants are needed since action/schema types differ from resource/schema types.Most providers keep actions alongside resources in the provider package:
internal/provider/
├── <action_name>_action.go # Action implementation
└── <action_name>_action_test.go # Action tests
(Large multi-service providers use internal/service/<service>/ packages
instead — follow the target repository's layout.)
Documentation lives with the other generated docs:
docs/actions/
└── <action_name>.md # User-facing documentation
(Some older, large providers hand-write
website/docs/actions/<name>.html.markdown instead — match the repo.)
Actions use the Terraform Plugin Framework with a standard schema pattern:
func (a *actionType) Schema(ctx context.Context, req action.SchemaRequest, resp *action.SchemaResponse) {
resp.Schema = schema.Schema{
Attributes: map[string]schema.Attribute{
// Required configuration parameters
"resource_id": schema.StringAttribute{
Required: true,
Description: "ID of the resource to operate on",
},
// Optional parameters with defaults
"timeout": schema.Int64Attribute{
Optional: true,
Description: "Operation timeout in seconds",
Default: int64default.StaticInt64(1800),
Computed: true,
},
},
}
}
Pay special attention to the schema definition - common issues after a first draft:

Action parameters must be wrapped in a config {} block. Trigger references use the action. prefix, and actions is a list. Events are bare identifiers, not quoted strings.

# Terraform Provider Actions Implementation Guide
## Overview
Terraform Actions enable imperative operations during the Terraform lifecycle. Actions are experimental features that allow performing provider operations at specific lifecycle events (before/after create, update, destroy).
**References:**
- [Terraform Plugin Framework](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/plugin/framework)
- [Terraform Plugin Framework Actions](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/plugin/framework/actions)
## First Action Setup
When adding the first action to a provider that has never had one, several one-time scaffolding steps are required:
1. **Implement `ProviderWithActions`** — add an `Actions()` method to the provider that returns `[]func() action.Action`.
2. **Set `ActionData` in `Configure`** — the provider's `Configure` method must set `resp.ActionData = v` alongside the existing `ResourceData`, `DataSourceData`, and `EphemeralResourceData` assignments.
3. **Create `ActionWithConfigure` base type** — if the provider uses embedded base types (e.g. `ResourceWithConfigure`), create an equivalent `ActionWithConfigure` type implementing `action.ConfigureRequest` / `action.ConfigureResponse`.
4. **Action-schema helper variants** — if the provider injects common schema attributes (e.g. `namespace`) via helper functions, action-schema variants are needed since `action/schema` types differ from `resource/schema` types.
## File Structure
Most providers keep actions alongside resources in the provider package:
```
internal/provider/
├── <action_name>_action.go # Action implementation
└── <action_name>_action_test.go # Action tests
```
(Large multi-service providers use `internal/service/<service>/` packages
instead — follow the target repository's layout.)
Documentation lives with the other generated docs:
```
docs/actions/
└── <action_name>.md # User-facing documentation
```
(Some older, large providers hand-write
`website/docs/actions/<name>.html.markdown` instead — match the repo.)
## Action Schema Definition
Actions use the Terraform Plugin Framework with a standard schema pattern:
```go
func (a *actionType) Schema(ctx context.Context, req action.SchemaRequest, resp *action.SchemaResponse) {
resp.Schema = schema.Schema{
Attributes: map[string]schema.Attribute{
// Required configuration parameters
"resource_id": schema.StringAttribute{
Required: true,
Description: "ID of the resource to operate on",
},
// Optional parameters with defaults
"timeout": schema.Int64Attribute{
Optional: true,
Description: "Operation timeout in seconds",
Default: int64default.StaticInt64(1800),
Computed: true,
},
},
}
}
```
### Common Schema Issues
**Pay special attention to the schema definition** - common issues after a first draft:
1. **Type Mismatches**
- Model structs use `types.String`/`types.Int64` and schemas use
`types.StringType` from
`github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-framework/types` — don't mix in
types from other packages
- Some large providers layer their own custom type package on top (e.g.
terraform-provider-aws's internal `fwtypes`); inside such a repo,
follow its convention consistently instead of the plain types
2. **List/Map Element Types**
```go
// WRONG - missing ElementType
"items": schema.ListAttribute{
Optional: true,
}
// CORRECT
"items": schema.ListAttribute{
Optional: true,
ElementType: types.StringType,
}
```
3. **Computed vs Optional**
- Attributes with defaults must be both `Optional: true` and `Computed: true`
- Don't mark action inputs as `Computed` unless they have defaults
4. **Validator Imports**
```go
// Ensure proper imports
"github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-framework-validators/int64validator"
"github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-framework-validators/stringvalidator"
```
5. **Region/Provider Attribute** (multi-region providers, e.g. AWS)
- Use the provider's shared region handling when it has one
- Don't manually re-define provider-level configuration in an action schema
6. **Nested Attributes**
- Use appropriate nested object types for complex structures
- Ensure nested types are properly defined
### Schema Validation Checklist
Before submitting, verify:
- [ ] All attributes have descriptions
- [ ] List/Map attributes have ElementType defined
- [ ] Validators are imported and applied correctly
- [ ] Model struct uses correct framework types
- [ ] Optional attributes with defaults are marked Computed
- [ ] Code compiles without type errors
- [ ] Run `go build` to catch type mismatches
## Action Invoke Method
The Invoke method contains the action logic:
```go
func (a *actionType) Invoke(ctx context.Context, req action.InvokeRequest, resp *action.InvokeResponse) {
var data actionModel
resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.Config.Get(ctx, &data)...)
if resp.Diagnostics.HasError() {
return
}
// a.client was stored by Configure (from req.ProviderData), the same
// pattern resources use.
resp.SendProgress(action.InvokeProgressEvent{Message: "Starting operation..."})
// Implement action logic with error handling
// Use context for timeout management
// Poll for completion if async operation
resp.SendProgress(action.InvokeProgressEvent{Message: "Operation completed"})
}
```
## Key Implementation Requirements
### 1. Progress Reporting
- Use `resp.SendProgress(action.InvokeProgressEvent{...})` for real-time updates
- Provide meaningful progress messages during long operations
- Update progress at key milestones
- Include elapsed time for long operations
### 2. Timeout Management
- Always include configurable timeout parameter (default: 1800s)
- Use `context.WithTimeout()` for API calls
- Handle timeout errors gracefully
- Validate timeout ranges (typically 60-7200 seconds)
### 3. Error Handling
- Add diagnostics with `resp.Diagnostics.AddError()`
- Provide clear error messages with context
- Include API error details when relevant
- Map provider error types to user-friendly messages
- Document all possible error cases
Example error handling:
```go
// Handle specific errors
var notFound *types.ResourceNotFoundException
if errors.As(err, ¬Found) {
resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
"Resource Not Found",
fmt.Sprintf("Resource %s was not found", resourceID),
)
return
}
// Generic error handling
resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
"Operation Failed",
fmt.Sprintf("Could not complete operation for %s: %s", resourceID, err),
)
```
### 4. Provider SDK Integration
- Use the API client stored at Configure time (`a.client`), shared with
resources and data sources
- Handle pagination for list operations
- Implement retry logic for transient failures
- Use appropriate error types
### 5. Parameter Validation
- Use framework validators for input validation
- Validate resource existence before operations
- Check for conflicting parameters
- Validate against provider naming requirements
### 6. Polling and Waiting
For operations that require waiting for completion, poll on a ticker under
a context deadline, reporting progress as you go. (Alternatively use
`retry.StateChangeConf` from
`github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-sdk/v2/helper/retry`, the same waiter
primitive resources use.)
```go
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(ctx, timeout)
defer cancel()
ticker := time.NewTicker(5 * time.Second)
defer ticker.Stop()
// Poll fast, report slow: progress events cross the plugin protocol, so
// throttle them instead of emitting one per poll.
start := time.Now()
var lastProgress time.Time
for {
res, err := findResource(ctx, a.client, id)
if err != nil {
resp.Diagnostics.AddError("Error polling operation", fmt.Sprintf("checking status of %s: %s", id, err))
return
}
switch res.Status {
case "AVAILABLE", "COMPLETED":
resp.SendProgress(action.InvokeProgressEvent{Message: "Operation completed"})
return
case "CREATING", "PENDING":
if time.Since(lastProgress) >= 30*time.Second {
lastProgress = time.Now()
resp.SendProgress(action.InvokeProgressEvent{
Message: fmt.Sprintf("Status: %s, Elapsed: %v", res.Status, time.Since(start).Round(time.Second)),
})
}
default:
resp.Diagnostics.AddError("Operation Failed", fmt.Sprintf("%s entered unexpected status %q", id, res.Status))
return
}
select {
case <-ctx.Done():
resp.Diagnostics.AddError("Operation Timed Out", fmt.Sprintf("%s did not complete within %v", id, timeout))
return
case <-ticker.C:
}
}
```
## Common Action Patterns
### Batch Operations
- Process items in configurable batches
- Report progress per batch
- Handle partial failures gracefully
- Support prefix/filter parameters
### Command Execution
- Submit command and get operation ID
- Poll for completion status
- Retrieve and report output
- Handle timeout during polling
- Validate resources exist before execution
### Service Invocation
- Invoke service with parameters
- Wait for completion (if synchronous)
- Return output/results
- Handle service-specific errors
### Resource State Changes
- Validate current state
- Apply state change
- Poll for target state
- Handle transitional states
### Async Job Submission
- Submit job with configuration
- Get job ID
- Optionally wait for completion
- Report job status
## Action Triggers
Actions are invoked via `action_trigger` lifecycle blocks in Terraform configurations. A standalone `action` block without a corresponding trigger is declared but never executed.
### HCL Syntax
Action parameters must be wrapped in a `config {}` block. Trigger references use the `action.` prefix, and `actions` is a list. Events are bare identifiers, not quoted strings.
```hcl
action "provider_service_action" "name" {
config {
parameter = value
}
}
resource "terraform_data" "trigger" {
lifecycle {
action_trigger {
events = [after_create]
actions = [action.provider_service_action.name]
}
}
}
```
### Available Trigger Events
**Supported events (as of Terraform 1.14):**
- `before_create` - Before resource creation
- `after_create` - After resource creation
- `before_update` - Before resource update
- `after_update` - After resource update
**Not supported (as of Terraform 1.14; check current release notes):**
- `before_destroy` - Not available (will cause validation error)
- `after_destroy` - Not available (will cause validation error)
## Testing Actions
### Acceptance Tests
- Test action invocation with valid parameters
- Test timeout scenarios
- Test error conditions
- Verify provider state changes
- Test progress reporting
- Test with custom parameters
- Test trigger-based invocation
### Test Pattern
```go
func TestAccExampleAction_basic(t *testing.T) {
resource.ParallelTest(t, resource.TestCase{
PreCheck: func() { testAccPreCheck(t) },
ProtoV6ProviderFactories: testAccProtoV6ProviderFactories,

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.
Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
Copies are not installs. Installation counts require a reported successful installation; they are not a blanket quality guarantee.
