Quick Actions

Quick actions let users perform a predefined task with a single click. Create quick actions to streamline and simplify processes like creating a record, logging a call, updating a field, and more.

You can configure a Lightning web component to run a quick action. This lets you execute custom logic on a Lighting record page while maintaining your UI styles. For guidance on how to use a custom Lightning web component as a quick action, see Configure a Component for Quick Actions.

LWC quick actions are available only on record pages in Lightning Experience. They’re not supported in Aura Experience Builder sites or on the Salesforce mobile app. The Field Service org supports Lightning web component actions on additional objects. These actions appear only in the Field Service mobile app and not in Lightning Experience on mobile or desktop.

There are two types of quick actions for Lightning web components:

Screen Quick Actions

A screen quick action displays a component in a modal window. For example, you can use a screen quick action to open a custom Lightning web component with a form that lets users create or update specific fields on a record.

See Create Screen Quick Actions for more information.

Headless Quick Actions

A headless quick action executes custom code that you provide in an @api invoke() method. This type of quick action lets you execute Lightning web component code that navigates to another page or dispatches an event.

See Create Headless Quick Actions for more information.
