HTTP Method

Authentication

Authorization: Bearer token

Parameters

None required

Considerations

Add all required fields to an object before you create a quick action for that object. If you add a required field after creating a quick action, the field won’t appear in the quick action’s describe results. Then, when the quick action runs, the field won’t be available and an error occurs for the missing field. If you don’t want the required field to appear in the quick action’s layout, set a default value for the field.
