+# Introduction
+
+ARC actions allows you automate some work before and after request is made. 
+
+The request actions allow to perform some logic before the connection to the destination URL is made. At this time you can modify the request values by setting up variables or modifying cookies. The actions run before other transformations are made to the request object like applying cookies or variables.
+
+The response actions are performed after the response has been completely ready from the connection, the response object has been created, and cookies has been processed. This way you can modify data stored in ARC after a response has been processed.
+
+Actions by default runs synchronously. This means that the request is being made after all request actions finish. The same for the response actions. Response is reported after the actions are performed. When it make sense some actions may have configuration option to enable asynchronous processing.
+
+When an action fails the request fails. Some actions may have a configuration option to ignore failures and allow to continue the request.

+# Set cookie action
+
+Set cookie action allows you to create a new cookie or to update existing one from the request or the response data. The cookie is stored in Electron's internal cookie storage \(ARC is built on the Electron platform which is derivative of the Chromium project\).
+
+To set a cookie you need to configure cookie name to set, it's URL configuration, and the value.
+
+The **name** of the cookie can be any value that is acceptable as a cookie value in HTTP specification.
+
+The **URL** of the cookie can be either a request or final response URL or manually configured from a domain and a path. In the Chromium project cookies are internally associated with an URL. This includes the host part of the URL and the path. Final response URL is the URL used to make the last request before receiving non-redirected response \(or the first response if redirects are disabled for the request\).
+
+Finally the data can be extracted from the request or response data.It can be an URL, headers, or the body. Depending whether it's request or response action the source of the data can be either a HTTP method or the status code.
