The URL action is the link used to execute any server-side script that was put down when creating this link.
The link stores the date inside, when it expired, the link stops working. The URL action works once and then deactivated.
It logs the user that has followed the link and executed the script.
Managing URL actions
To create a URL action, you can use ss.generateUrlAction API method.
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, fill in the form, and then click Save.
If you're creating a URL action manually, then you need to add the value of the key field after "/url-action/run?key=" in the URL to get correct, fully functional URL action.
