URL Actions

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 who has followed the link and executed the script.

Manage URL actions

Role required: admin.

To create a URL action, use ss.generateUrlAction API method.

URL action can also be created via the SimpleOne interface. To do this, complete 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 the changes.

If you create a URL action manually, add the value of the Key field after "/url-action/run?key=" in URL to get a correct, fully functional URL action.
