InteractAction

InteractAction is an Action subtype for social and community interactions: following, joining, leaving, registering, communicating, subscribing. Direct subtypes include SubscribeAction, FollowAction, JoinAction, LeaveAction, RegisterAction, BefriendAction, MarryAction, and CommunicateAction (with its own sub-subtypes: CommentAction, ReplyAction, ShareAction, AskAction, InviteAction, InformAction, CheckInAction, CheckOutAction).

InteractAction is most common in social networks and community platforms. Most search-visible uses go through subtypes (SubscribeAction in email markup, JoinAction and LeaveAction in community activity streams).

Common InteractAction mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

  1. 01

    Bare InteractAction instead of RegisterAction/JoinAction

    Wrong
    "@type": "InteractAction" for a course registration
    Right
    "@type": "RegisterAction"

    Subtypes carry the specific verb. A bare InteractAction forces every consumer to parse the name or target to infer the action.
