# Get Used Capacity

Use this action after configuring [Capacity Meters](/kb/routing/capacity_meters.md) to check a Gradient Works Queue User's current used capacity, giving you more control before performing assignments.

Access the user's calculated capacity in the `usedCapacity` output. You can then use this value in Decisions in your Flow to determine whether or not a user has available capacity to be assigned an item or not.

## Configuration

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Flow Element" %}

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Apex Properties" %}
Please note that you will not directly interact with these input fields as you do with some Flow Actions. Instead the Gradient Works custom editor takes care of the heavy lifting.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.gradient.works/kb/automation-builder-kit-abk/actions/users/getusedcapacityaction.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
