# Next Action Field

The Next Action Field defines which action to execute after this action has completed. The current action will send its output to the first of the AI [Action Variables](/inbox-ai/actions/action-variables.md) of the selected next action as input.

{% hint style="info" %}
Next Actions silently ignore the input of previous actions if they do not have any AI [Action Variables](/inbox-ai/actions/action-variables.md).
{% endhint %}

If you want to execute multiple actions, select a [Group](/inbox-ai/actions/custom-actions/group.md) action. In this case the output will be sent to each of the actions in the group in a similar way as mentioned above.

If you want to process the output of an action, send it to an [Ask AI](/inbox-ai/actions/custom-actions/ask-ai.md) action.

If you want to send the output of an action back to the original [Ask AI](/inbox-ai/actions/custom-actions/ask-ai.md) action that triggered it, select the [Return Result to Previous AI](/inbox-ai/actions/built-in-actions/flow-control/return-result-to-previous-ai.md) action as the next action. This requires the previous [Ask AI](/inbox-ai/actions/custom-actions/ask-ai.md) action to allow multiple turns, else it will be ignored.
