# AMBundleAction

An object that represents an Automator action that’s a loadable bundle.

## Declaration

```swift
class AMBundleAction
```

## Overview

Overview Automator loads action bundles from standard locations in the file system: /System/Library/Automator, /Library/Automator, and ~/Library/Automator. AMBundleAction objects have several important properties: The Bundle object associated with the action’s physical bundle The action’s view, which holds its user interface A parameters dictionary that reflects the settings in the user interface When you create a Cocoa Automator Action project in Xcode, the project template includes a custom subclass of AMBundleAction. This custom class uses the name of the project. You must provide an implementation of run(withInput:), which is declared by the superclass AMAction. If you add any instance variables, you must override the init(definition:fromArchive:) method and the write(to:) method of AMAction to work with them.
