> ### Using default actions

> Fathom provides four default action definitions: Default_Action, Default_Mail_Action, Default_Clear_Action, and Default_Pager_Action. The Default_Action is a compound action that contains a single action: the Default_Mail_Action, which is configured to send email to the user you specified when you initially configured Fathom. Like the Default_Mail_Action, the Default_Clear_Action is initially configured to send mail to the default email recipient. The Default_Pager_Action sends a message to a pager.

> The Default_Action is set on the On alert perform action field when you initially configure a monitor. If you prefer, you can choose a different action for Fathom to perform when an alert is generated.

> Each default serves as a reusable, initial action definition that you can use or modify just as you can any action that you create. These default actions are meant to help you to get your Fathom resources created and running quickly.

> You can edit these default actions, but you cannot delete or rename them.
