Single-Word Requests – Word for a Person Starting a Process or Activity

single-word-requests

I'm writing some software and in it there are actions being executed
by the users using the program. 
Those actions might be something like

  • Sending an email to another person
  • Changing a certain document
  • Writing a comment on something
  • etc.

An action is always kicked off by a single user. Naively I chose executioneer until I realized that this word doesn't exist and the closest existing word is something like hangman 😉

As an example:

The _________ of the Action "Send Email To User"
was awarded 12 gold nuggets in cash.

Can you help me find the right word? Single words only please.
