Update current record

Provide users with the ability to modify the existing data within the record view. This streamlines the data editing process and allows users to keep information up-to-date.

Delete current record

This action type empowers users to remove the current record from the data table. It's crucial to implement a confirmation step before deletion to prevent accidental data loss.

Communication Actions

Open external URL

This action will help the end-user launch a web browser and direct them to an external website associated with the data point. This is useful for providing users with additional context or resources.

Open Phone Call popup

This action helps simplify communication by enabling users to initiate phone calls directly from the record view. Clicking this action type automatically populates the phone number and opens the dial pad.

Open SMS popup

Pre-populate an SMS message with the phone number from the record and open the messaging app, enabling users to send a text message quickly.

Open Email popup

This action type pre-fills an email with information from the record and opens the user's default email app, streamlining the email-sending process.

Advanced Actions

This type of action will trigger push notifications to specific users or user segments based on criteria related to the record view data. This can be a powerful tool for disseminating timely updates or targeted information.
