# Sending commands on cue

It is possible to send a network message via OSC, TCP, or UDP to an arbitrary destination by configuring a custom action in a cue item on the timeline or as action (on enter/on leave) for cue lists.

## Timeline

In timelines, create a new cue by right-clicking on the cue track (above the media tracks):

Then set it to Action=`custom` and add the network command. Use variables (global or project variables) to keep the command adjustable.

## Playlist

A playlist item always provides two actions:

* **Action On Enter:** exectuted when starting the playback
* **Action On Leave:** executed after playback is finished

You can choose to execute commands on enter, on leave and on both events.

Set Action=`custom` and add the network command. Use variables (global or project variables) to keep the command adjustable.
