### priorityValue

<MemberInfo kind="property" type={`number`} default={`0`}   />

Used to determine the order of application of multiple Promotions
on the same Order. See the <DocsLink href="/reference/typescript-api/entities/promotion#promotion">Promotion</DocsLink> `priorityScore` field for
more information.
### conditions

<MemberInfo kind="property" type={``U extends undefined ? undefined : ConditionTuple<Exclude<U, undefined>>``}   />

Allows PromotionActions to define one or more PromotionConditions as dependencies. Having a PromotionCondition
as a dependency has the following consequences:
1. A Promotion using this PromotionAction is only valid if it also contains all PromotionConditions
on which it depends.
2. The `execute()` function will receive a statically-typed `state` argument which will contain
the return values of the PromotionConditions' `check()` function.
### onActivate

<MemberInfo kind="property" type={`<a href='/reference/typescript-api/promotions/promotion-action#promotionactionsideeffectfn'>PromotionActionSideEffectFn</a>`<T>``}  since="1.8.0" experimental="true" />

An optional side effect function which is invoked when the promotion
becomes active. It can be used for things like adding a free gift to the order
or other side effects that are unrelated to price calculations.

If used, make sure to use the corresponding `onDeactivate` function to clean up
or reverse any side effects as needed.
### onDeactivate

<MemberInfo kind="property" type={`<a href='/reference/typescript-api/promotions/promotion-action#promotionactionsideeffectfn'>PromotionActionSideEffectFn</a>`<T>``}  since="1.8.0" experimental="true" />

Used to reverse or clean up any side effects executed as part of the `onActivate` function.
