Let Flows Execute Local Browser Actions

With local actions, you can perform actions in the browser rather than going through the Salesforce server.

Required Editions

View supported editions.

Either install a local action from an external library, such as Unofficial SF, or have a developer build one for you. For example, with local actions, a flow can:

  • Open a related article in another window or tab.
  • When the flow creates a record, open the record in another browser tab.
  • When the flow finishes, close the browser or console tab.
  • Get data from a database behind your firewall.
Note
Note To add local actions to a flow, make sure that:
  • The flow’s type is Screen Flow.
  • Users can run the flow only in Lightning runtime. For example, don’t distribute the flow using a Visualforce component.

To add a local action to a flow:

  1. Add an Action element to the canvas.
  2. In the Action field, search for and select the local action.
  3. To pass data between the flow and the local action, set the action’s inputs and store its outputs.
