  console.log({
    row, // docSnapshot of the called column
    context, // callable context contains data such as the time and the user running the action
    ref, // contains document id and other references related to the row
    column, // contains key of the action column
    schemaDocPath, // table schema Doc Path

  switch (action) {
    case "run":
    case "undo":
    case "redo":
    default:
      break;
  }

  return {
    success: true, // return if the operation was success
    message: "hello world", // message shown in snackbar on the firetable ui after the completion of action
