With App Actions, users can create a new record in a destination app containing details from the original source app. This is done via a button in a source app.
How to Create an Action in an App:
-
Inside an app, click the Gear wheel on the right and navigate to the App Settings tab.
-
Under Advanced Settings, select Actions.
-
Click New.
-
Enter a Name for your action button.
-
The Source field shows the name of the app the action will reside in. This will be the app you are currently creating the action in.
-
In the Target field, select the app that is the target of the action. This will be the app where a new record will be created with data from your Source app.
-
Select Source and Destination fields in Field Mappings. What fields in the Source App do you want to push over to the Target App?
-
In Available To, select one or more users, groups, or departments who can perform the action. To make the action available to everyone, select the group "Everyone".
-
Click Save and Update App.
