# Run a Lua Script using an Ingest Action

To run a Lua script on documents that are sent for ingestion, use an Ingest Action.

To run a Lua script using an Ingest Action

1. Open the connector’s configuration file.

2. Find one of the following sections in the configuration file:

   - To run a Lua script on all documents retrieved by a specific task, find the `[TaskName]` section.
   - To run a Lua script on all documents that are sent for ingestion, find the `[Ingestion]` section.

   NOTE: If you set the `IngestActions` parameter in a `[TaskName]` section, the connector does not run any `IngestActions` set in the `[Ingestion]` section for that task.

3. Use the `IngestActions` parameter to specify the path to your Lua script. For example:

       IngestActions=LUA:C:\Autonomy\myScript.lua

4. Save and close the configuration file.
