Notes

Salesforce Order Management actions are intended for use in flows. The standard actions URI can only be used to get information about them. To use these actions in code, call the corresponding Connect REST API endpoints or Apex ConnectApi methods. For more information, see Salesforce Order Management Resources in the Connect REST API Developer Guide and ConnectApi Namespace in the Apex Developer Guide.

The Post to Chatter action supports the following features using a special format in the body post.

@mentions using @[<id>]
Topic links using #[<topicString>]

For example, the string Hi @[005000000000001], check out #[some_topic] is stored appropriately as Hi @Joe, check out #some_topic where “@Joe” and “#some_topic” are links to the user and topic, respectively.
