While Cl- influx is associated with hyperpolarization during IPSP occurrence, it doesn't contribute significantly to the action potential. The influx of Na+ causes the rising phase of the action potential as a positive hyperpolarization, while the efflux of K+ is associated with the falling phase of the action potential as depolarization and then negative hyperpolarization to and beyond the resting membrane potential voltage value.
