Configure your action button with the following details:


  • Action Label: Provide a meaningful name for the action (e.g., ‘Change Case Owner', ‘Assign Task’, etc.). Customize the button further by selecting an icon from the ‘Icon Selection’ section.
  • API Name: Choose a unique name for the action, without spaces or special characters (except underscores). This name helps distinguish between similar actions with a matching label.
  • Is Active: If inactive, the button will be disabled for all new and existing messages.
  • Is Available: If enabled, the Message Action will be visible in the Message Type Builder.
