Summary: We investigate connections between actions on separable $C^*$-algebras with Rokhlin-type properties and absorption of the Jiang-Su algebra $\mathcal{Z}$. We show that if $A$ admits an approximately inner group action with finite Rokhlin dimension with commuting towers then $A$ is $\mathcal{Z}$-stable. We obtain analogous results for tracial version of the Rokhlin property and approximate innerness. Going beyond approximate innerness, for actions of a single automorphism which have the Rokhlin property and are almost periodic in a suitable sense, the crossed product absorbs $\mathcal{Z}$ even when the original algebra does not.
