Brian11 How to fire global actions from a Lightning Component
I am trying to use a button inside a lightning component to open a global action. Is this possible?
Ultimately the behavior I am looking for is the slide up from bottom left that a global action has. I cant find anything in the docs that has this feature. I keep running into quickAction api and the utility Api.
<aura:component implements="force:appHostable, flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes, flexipage:availableForRecordHome, force:hasRecordId" access="global">
<lightning:quickActionAPI aura:id="quickActionAPI" />
<lightning:button label="Select Update Case Action" onclick="{!c.fireGlobal}" />
</aura:component>
// Controller
fireGlobal: function (cmp, event, helper) {
var actionAPI = cmp.find("quickActionAPI");
// New Contact is a global action
var args = { actionName: "NewContact" };
actionAPI.invokeAction(args);
}
Nothing happens. The global action doesnt fire. I am not sure if it only happens with quick action buttons and not global actions.
If it worked for you would you mind sharing some example code?
No I did not find a solution yet. Can you share your example?
<aura:component implements="force:appHostable, flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes, flexipage:availableForRecordHome, force:hasRecordId" access="global"> <lightning:quickActionAPI aura:id="quickActionAPI" /> <lightning:button label="Select Update Case Action" onclick="{!c.fireGlobal}" /> </aura:component> // Controller fireGlobal: function (cmp, event, helper) { var actionAPI = cmp.find("quickActionAPI"); // New Contact is a global action var args = { actionName: "Contact.NewContact" }; actionAPI.invokeAction(args); }
