Target Actions to Fire on Specific Product Detail Pages

You can create an experience with actions that only fire on specific page types for specific products in a product feed. This option is valuable if you want to display a banner or some other visual change on those specific pages to encourage customers to take a particular action or to present relevant promotions and sales. Action conditions are key to targeting the actions.
