Navigation Actions in the Salesforce Mobile App

Use these supported programmatic navigation actions in your Lightning web components intended for use in Salesforce Mobile App Plus.

Each Salesforce mobile app implements support for the navigation service independently, which results in some differences in available navigation actions. The following PageReference types are supported by the LWC navigation service when used in the Salesforce Mobile App Plus mobile app.

standard__quickAction
standard__webPage

You can implement a surprising number of different navigation actions with these PageReference types. The following are examples of navigation actions, and the PageReference used to implement them.

Navigate to a Quick Action

Create a navigation action that opens an LWC-based quick action.

objectApiName.actionApiName represents the name of the quick action (actionApiName), and the sObject that it’s defined on (objectApiName). The state object provides a way to pass data into the target component. In this example, recordID and objectApiName are public properties defined in the objectApiName.actionApiName quick action’s JavaScript code.
