ActionLinks Class
Namespace
Usage
An action link is a button on a feed element. Clicking an action link can take a user to another Web page, initiate a file download, or invoke an API call to Salesforce or to an external server. An action link includes a URL and an HTTP method, and can include a request body and header information, such as an OAuth token for authentication. Use action links to integrate Salesforce and third-party services into the feed so that users can take action to drive productivity and accelerate innovation.
There are two views of an action link and an action link group: the definition, and the context user’s view. The definition includes potentially sensitive information, such as authentication information. The context user’s view is filtered by visibility options and the values reflect the state of the context user.
For information about how to use action links, see Working with Action Links.

Usage
An action link is a button on a feed element. Clicking an action link can take a user to another Web page, initiate a file download, or invoke an API call to Salesforce or to an external server. An action link includes a URL and an HTTP method, and can include a request body and header information, such as an OAuth token for authentication. Use action links to integrate Salesforce and third-party services into the feed so that users can take action to drive productivity and accelerate innovation.
All action links must belong to a group. Action links in a group are mutually exclusive and share some properties. Define stand-alone actions in their own action group.
Because information in the action link group definition can be sensitive to a third party (for example, OAuth bearer token headers), only calls made from the Apex namespace that created the action link group definition can read, modify, or delete the definition. In addition, the user making the call must have created the definition or have “View All Data” permission.
