What is a Vlocity Action?

• A. A configurable way to launch a URL including an OmniScript
• B. A data source for Type Ahead blocks
• C. A Salesforce object
• D. A static URL mapping

Answer: (A)

A Vlocity Action is a configurable navigation step that launches a URL and can start an OmniScript as part of that navigation. It lets you define where to send the user and which script to run, and you can pass parameters or data into the target. This makes it a flexible way to trigger flows or external pages from within OmniStudio, and to reuse the same action across different parts of the experience. This explains why it’s the best fit: it specifically describes launching a URL and including an OmniScript, which is exactly what a Vlocity Action does. It’s not about providing a data source for Type Ahead blocks, nor about representing a Salesforce object, nor merely a static URL mapping. Those other concepts serve different purposes, while the Vlocity Action focuses on configurable navigation and script initiation.
