    package com.manageengine.servicedesk.actionplugin.sample;

    import com.manageengine.servicedesk.actionplugin.executor.ActionInterface

    import com.manageengine.servicedesk.actionplugin.executor.ExecutorData

    public class SampleActionImplementation extends DefaultActionInterface

    {

    public JSONObject execute(ExecutorData executorData) throws Exception

    {

     

    //The parameter ExecutorData will not contain any data.

    //You can have your implementation here
    //Return type should be null

     

    }

    }
