2. Click the Saved Actions icon and select Save action configurations.
3. Enter a name and description for the action.
4. If you want anyone in your organization to have access to the action, toggle Usable by others in the organization.
5. Verify the configuration details for the action and click Save Action Configuration.

Use a saved action in your workflow

To add a saved action as a new step in your workflow:

1. Click the plus (+) icon from the workflow canvas and select Saved Actions.
2. Use the search bar or browse through the list to find the Saved Action you’re looking for.

To configure an existing step using a saved action:

2. Click the Saved Actions icon and select Configure using a saved action.
3. Select the Saved Action you’d like to use to configure your step and click Use Saved Action.

Manage a saved action

You can preview, edit, or delete your Saved Actions from the Action Catalog tab.

To find a saved action:

1. From the Workflow Automation page, click Action Catalog.
2. Click Saved Actions and browse through the list for the Saved Action you’d like to preview, edit, or delete.
3. Hover over the action and click Preview/Edit saved configurations to be presented with a preview of the action.

If you did not create the action, you cannot edit it directly. Instead select the Clone icon to copy it and make your configuration changes. You cannot delete an action that you did not create.
