What are possible types to choose in the Invocable.Action.createCustomAction(type, name) method?

Question

In the Winter '23 Release there was a new Apex class added - Invocable.Action

One can invoke an action using, for instance, a createCustomAction(type, name) method. However, there are no possible types listed in the documentation.

apex is the only one that I got, as it's used in examples.

I didn't find anything useful neither in the Release Maintenance Module nor in the Help Docs for the Release.

Is there anywhere a list of possible types to use here available?

Answer 1

Here are the supported types (from /services/data/v58.0/actions/custom)

• apex for calling @InvocableAction annotated methods
• flow for starting Flow interviews (including mass/bulk runs)
• quickAction for calling Global Publisher actions

I found them via Workbench REST Explorer and tested each in Apex. The unsupported ones throw an error, eg: Invocable.Action.createCustomAction('emailAlert', '').invoke()

• externalService for making HTTP callouts
• dynamicSendSurveyInvitation for Salesforce Survey links
• sendNotification for Send Notification relate to Slack integrations
• outboundMessage which refers to object-specific Workflow Rules and SOAP
• emailAlert which also refers to object-specific Workflow Rules and emails
