Actions are the endpoints of your automation graphs. They receive signals from triggers and execute commands.

​
System & LAN Notifications

Keep your team informed.
  • Setup: Add the node and define the message text.
  • Features: Notify displays a standard macOS banner. LAN Notification broadcasts an alert to other Relay instances connected on your local network, displaying it directly over their dashboard.

​
In-App Action

Control Relay itself as part of an automation, instead of an external device.
  • Setup: Add the node and pick one command.
  • Available commands: Select First / Previous / Next / Last Tab, Refresh Planning Center, Resync Device Names (consoles and wireless), Clear SPL Meters, Clear Live Transcript, Switch to Canvas View, Switch to Automation View, Enter / Exit / Toggle Live Mode, Save Dashboard, Save Dashboard As, and Start / Stop / Toggle SPL Logging.
  • Features: Useful for building a single “Pre-Service Setup” or “Go Live” sequence that flips Relay itself into the right state — enter Live Mode, jump to tab one, refresh Planning Center — without an operator touching anything.

​
HTTP Request

Integrate with almost any web service.
  • Setup: Define the URL, method (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE), headers, and body content.
  • Features: Triggers web endpoints or APIs. Useful for custom webhooks, triggering IFTTT/Zapier flows, or controlling smart home devices that don’t have a dedicated Relay integration.

​
ProPresenter Trigger

Control your presentation software remotely.
  • Setup: Link the node to your configured ProPresenter connection.
  • Features: Trigger specific slides, clear layers (audio, video, props), or start/stop timers without leaving Relay.

​
Protocol Sends

Communicate with standard show control protocols.
  • OSC Send: Transmits an OSC message to a target IP and port (defaults to 9000) at a given address. Define the address path and arguments. OSC sending was improved in Relay 1.2.2.
  • MIDI Send: Sends a MIDI message to a connected MIDI destination — Note On/Off, Program Change, Control Change, or raw SysEx, depending on the message kind you choose.

​
Console

Control a connected audio console. This is a destination node — link it to one of your configured console devices, and the node exposes that console’s own action set.
  • Setup: Select a configured audio console from External Devices. Multiple Console nodes can point at the same physical device if you want independent routing paths for different parts of a graph. The node also has a Test control to fire the current configuration once by hand, separate from automated triggering.
  • Auto-send binding: A console node can be bound to a trigger so that channel assignments or snapshots are sent automatically whenever that trigger fires, instead of only on request.
  • Capability gating: Relay checks that anything linked into a console node is actually usable by that console model. An incompatible link — for example, a Planning Center source feeding a console that can’t rename channels — shows as a red-ring “Incompatible links” warning directly on the node instead of failing silently at runtime.
  • Standard Console Actions: Behringer X32/M32, Yamaha DM7/Rivage, and Allen & Heath consoles support scene recall, mute, level, and pan directly — no third-party bridge required.
  • Allen & Heath Qu actions: Scene Recall, Soft Key, Channel Mute, Channel Level, Channel Pan, Mix Assign, Send Level, Group Level, Group Mute, FX Send Level, FX Return Level — sent over MIDI.
  • DiGiCo actions: Mute, Solo, Fader, and Recall Macro — sent over OSC, addressable across input, aux, group, matrix, and control-group channel types. DiGiCo doesn’t support true scene recall; snapshot actions create or rename snapshots rather than firing a stored scene. Relay sends to the console’s OSC receive port (default 9000) and listens for replies on its own local port (default 8000). “Sync from DiGiCo” channel-name discovery scans up to 256 input channels, 128 aux outputs, 128 group outputs, 64 matrix outputs, and 64 control groups by default.
  • Send to All Consoles: A separate action node that sends assignments and/or snapshots to every connected console at once, with an optional stagger between sends.

​
Wireless

Send control commands to a connected wireless receiver.
  • Setup: Select a configured Shure or Sennheiser device — each brand is its own action node.
  • Features: Mute or unmute a channel and adjust other supported per-channel settings without leaving the automation graph.

​
Smart Light Control Beta

Control your environment’s lighting.
  • Setup: Connect to a supported smart light bridge on your network. Requires Relay Pro.
  • Features: Set colors, adjust brightness, or recall scenes on Philips Hue or Govee devices as part of any automation flow. See Smart lights for the full guide.

​
Vista Beta

Trigger your Vista lighting/show system.
  • Setup: Connect to a supported Vista device.
  • Features: Export cue lists and trigger basic Vista OSC commands directly from Relay. See Vista for the full guide.
