Overview

Action URLs let you automatically perform actions in the user interface.

There are three action URLs:

Name	Action
open	Navigates to a specific record in the user interface.
open_workflow	Navigate to a specific Workflow Monitor/Editor graph in the user interface.
run_report	Runs a Report and displays the report output without navigating to the Report record.

To use an action URL:

Verify that the URL Action Parameter Enabled Universal Controller system property is set to true (the default).
Append the action URL to the URL of the Universal Controller Login page or Home page.

If you do not have an authenticated browser session, regardless of the URL that you specify, you will be redirected to the login page to authenticate. Once authenticated, the action URL will proceed.

If you have an authenticated browser session, and you are entering the action URL from an already loaded application page/browser tab, the application page/browser tab will be reloaded, comparable to a browser refresh, and all unsaved changes will be lost, including any open application tabs.
