Actions

In Sitecore Content Hub, actions are components that perform a specific task. You can trigger them manually or use a trigger or APIs to run actions automatically. You can also trigger them individually or in bulk.

Bulk execution

In the single execution mode, every action is executed on one specific target (often an entity). If there are five targets that need to be processed by the action, then the action needs to be executed five times, one time for each target. For example, if a mass edit triggers the action, then the action will execute for all affected items at once, instead of once for each item.

See also Custom entity operations.

In this example, five entities whose IDs are 11477, 11484, 11439, 11458, and 11466) are being processed by the API call action. In single execution mode, this results in five POST requests to the specified endpoint:

RequestResponse

{
  "TargetId":11477,
  "TargetIdentifier":"asset.fruitful-logo-bg",
  "context":{

  }
}

RequestResponse

{
  "TargetId":11484,
  "TargetIdentifier":"asset.powerful-logo-bg",
  "context":{

  }
}

RequestResponse

{
  "TargetId":11439,
  "TargetIdentifier":"asset.whitney-wright-286729",
  "context":{

  }
}

RequestResponse

{
  "TargetId":11458,
  "TargetIdentifier":"asset.wine-dharma-642423",
  "context":{

  }
}

RequestResponse

{
  "TargetId":11466,
  "TargetIdentifier":"asset.zino-de-groot-767248",
  "context":{

  }
}

When actions are executed in bulk, this results in only one POST request:

RequestResponse

{
  "targets":[
   {
     "TargetId":11439,
     "TargetIdentifier":"asset.whitney-wright-286729",
     "context":{

     }
   },
   {
     "TargetId":11458,
     "TargetIdentifier":"asset.wine-dharma-642423",
     "context":{

     }
   },
   {
     "TargetId":11466,
     "TargetIdentifier":"asset.zino-de-groot-767248",
     "context":{

     }
   },
   {
     "TargetId":11477,
     "TargetIdentifier":"asset.fruitful-logo-bg",
     "context":{

     }
   },
   {
     "TargetId":11484,
     "TargetIdentifier":"asset.powerful-logo-bg",
     "context":{

     }
   }
  ]
}

Auditing

You can view a reporting channel for actions, on the Auditing tab.

You can choose which columns to display by clicking Columns icon Columns and selecting the desired columns. You can also sort the actions using any of the column names.
