# Create spoke and build actions manually

Automate an integration and generate reusable actions manually.

## Before you begin

2.  Click **Create new** > **Spoke**.

3.  On the General Info screen, select an image as the logo for your integration and fill in the fields.

    |Field|Description|
    |-----|-----------|
    |Spoke name|Name to identify the custom spoke.|
    |Description|Description about the custom spoke.|

4.  Click **Create and continue**.

    The spoke is created and a confirmation message is displayed.

5.  On the Build Info screen, select the method using which you want to build your spoke.

6.  Select **Manually** and click **Continue**.

    The spoke details page is displayed.

7.  Click **New action** to create an action.

    -   If you want to create actions by importing the required OpenAPI Specification, select **From OpenAPI spec**.
