The URL action is the link used to execute any server-side script that was put down when creating this link.
The URL action expiration date is stored in the URL action (sys_url_action) dictionary, in the Expire at field. When that date comes, the URL becomes expired and stops working.
It logs the user that has followed the link and executed the script.
Also, URL action can be created via the SimpleOne interface. To do this, please perform the following steps:
Navigate to the System Definition → URL Actions.
Click New and fill in the fields.
Click Save or Save and Exit to apply changes.
If you create a URL action manually, then you need to add the value of the key field after "/url-action/run?key=" in URL to get a correct, fully functional URL action.
