Perform Action Using POST

Perform Action Using POST


Performing a POST /api/actions/{id} will attempt to trigger the action with specified id. It is considered a best practice to use the actionExecution field from the POST /api/action/{id}/query that has been previously executed to populate
the body of the request. Please note that additional values may be required in order to make the populateAction response body valid.
