Calling Quick Actions from the API

You can further extend the power of actions by calling them from the REST API.

Throughout this guide, we’ve seen how powerful actions are because they let you quickly extend the Salesforce1 app and give users the functionality they need right within the publisher. You can harness this power outside of the Salesforce1 app by calling actions from the REST API.

In this chapter, we’ll walk through creating an action off the Invoice object and calling it from the Shipify Web application. After we make our changes, when users access the Shipify canvas app and click Ship It, the app will add a delivery record in Salesforce.

This chapter builds on the tasks completed in the section Extending Salesforce1 with Canvas Custom Actions. Be sure to complete the steps of downloading the Shipify Web application and creating the canvas app before starting the tasks in this chapter.
