 ### Response actions
 
-The `response_actions` field in the endpoint configuration allows you to specify how to handle specific responses from the API based on status codes or content substrings. This is useful for handling edge cases like ignoring responses on specific conditions.
+The `response_actions` field in the endpoint configuration allows you to specify how to handle specific responses or all responses from the API. For example, responses with specific status codes or content substrings can be ignored.
+Additionally, all responses or only responses with specific status codes or content substrings can be transformed with a custom callable, such as a function. This callable is passed on to the requests library as a [response hook](https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/advanced/#event-hooks). The callable can modify the response object and has to return it for the modifications to take effect.

+- `status_code` (int, optional): The HTTP status code to match.
+- `content` (str, optional): A substring to search for in the response content.
+- `action` (str or Callable or List[Callable], optional): The action to take when the condition is met. Currently supported actions:
+  - `"ignore"`: Ignore the response.
+  - a callable accepting and returning the response object.
+  - a list of callables, each accepting and returning the response object.

 In this example, the source will ignore responses with a status code of 404, responses with the content "Not found", and responses with a status code of 200 _and_ content "some text".

+#### Example B
+
+```py
+def set_encoding(response, *args, **kwargs):
+    # sets the encoding in case it's not correctly detected
+    response.encoding = 'windows-1252'
+    return response

+        record.pop("email", None)
+    modified_content: bytes = json.dumps(payload).encode("utf-8")
+    response._content = modified_content
+    return response
+
+{
+    "path": "issues",

+        set_encoding
+        {"status_code": 200, "action": add_and_remove_fields},
+    ],
+}
+```
+
+In this example, the resource will set the correct encoding for all responses first. Thereafter, for all responses that have the status code 200, we will add a field `custom_field` and remove the field `email`.

+#### Example C
+
+```py
+def set_encoding(response, *args, **kwargs):
+    # sets the encoding in case it's not correctly detected
+    response.encoding = 'windows-1252'
+    return response
+
+{
+    "path": "issues",
+    "response_actions": [
+        set_encoding,
+    ],
+}
+```
+
+In this example, the resource will set the correct encoding for all responses. More callables can be added to the list of response_actions.
 
-- `status_code` (int, optional): The HTTP status code to match.
-- `content` (str, optional): A substring to search for in the response content.
-- `action` (str): The action to take when the condition is met. Currently supported actions:
