+## Executing Actions Programmatically
+
+Sometimes, it is required to execute actions programmatically, e.g., executing an action implementing logic we need and the implementation is out of our control.
+Executing actions can be achieved with [`ActionUtils.invokeAction()`](%gh-ic%/platform/platform-api/src/com/intellij/openapi/actionSystem/ex/ActionUtil.java).
+
+> Executing actions programmatically should be avoided whenever possible.
+> If an action executed programmatically is under your control, extract its logic to a service or util and call it directly.
