Actions overtaking rules and hooks

Actions

Description:
In the past, Rules and Hooks were commonly used in Auth0 for implementing custom logic and integrating with external systems during the authentication and authorization process. Here’s a brief overview of each:

but now actions are dominating these two(rules and hooks)

Use-case: we can set usersmetadata by adding flows in actions it also provide builtin flows and also offer custom flow here i give example of custom flow.
we add favrouite color to the metadata of user as setting flow as :

exports.onExecutePostLogin = async (event, api) => {
  api.user.setUserMetadata("favorite_color", "blue");
};

by placing this logic to custom flow when the user login the color is set to user_metadata.
