How to call a custom action through the api

Hi Mattias,

In the post you referenced, a parameter named targetId was sent as a part of the request. I believe this represents the custom action's target object to run on (in the Clarizen UI custom actions usually run on a specific object). 

I'm not sure if a target is required when the Custom Action is called via the API, so the below may or may not work:

Custom actions can be marked as available with no item selected. If you don't need to run the custom action on a specific object as an input (for currentObject()) perhaps marking the custom action as available with no selected object could also help. See screenshot:

Hope this helps,

Hi Ophir

I have attached the custom action below.

It runs on Project work item and has no such setting.

Hi Mattias,

Click on Advanced below Error notifications to show the settings I mentioned.

Hope this helps,

Thanks

I got it to work, but it was not due to the advanced setting.

Below setup works with this command

curl -H "Authorization: Session 2fe27cb3-abc-42a0-def-d33f072ghij_1234567" https://api.clarizentb.com/V2.0/services/data/executeCustomAction -d "{'targetId': '/User/ererererkboww6slxy1tt0cchu3','customAction': 'DisplayErrorMessageFromAPI2User', 'values': [{'fieldName':'NotificationTitle', 'value': 'My Notification Title Text'},{'fieldName':'NotificationBody', 'value': 'Notification Body My Text'},{'fieldName': 'User', 'value': '/User/ererererkboww6slxy1tt0cchu3'}]}"
