What is an item action?

AppAlloy empowers you to define various action types that users can execute when interacting with an item within the record view in the Design tab.

These actions transform your app from a static information portal into a dynamic tool that users can leverage to perform specific tasks.

Access item actions

In the Design tab, choose Record view, then click +button next to 'Actions' section on your right handside.

  • Name the Action Title

  • Click 'Configure' > '+ Then'

  • Various action types will be appeared as a list

Important notes

  • Integrations will also be included in this list

  • You can perform multiple Actions at the same time.

Data manipulation actions

Create new record

This action type allows users to initiate the creation of a new record within the same data table. This is perfect for situations where users might want to add new data points based on the information they're viewing in the current record.

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

Send notifications

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.

HTTP request

For developers, this action type allows you to trigger custom HTTP requests upon user interaction with the record view. This opens up possibilities for integrating with external APIs or services.

Execute workflow

The Execute Workflow action lets you link a workflow with your action button.

When you create workflows with the trigger type set to Manual Triggered, these workflows will automatically appear in the list of actions.
