Custom action flow designer

[anvitha ash]

Hello community,

There is a custom action created in flow designer. Now I wanted to know which all flows are using the custom action we created 

 Ex: let's take custom action name "XYX" , now I wanted to know which all flows or subflows are using the XYX action 

Please help in how to fetch the information.

Thanks in advance 😃

Hi @anvitha ash ,

You can easily find out in which flows current custom action is used.

1. open the custom action.
2. click on more action menu.
3. click on see related flows.

What is the difference between actions and data stream @Anand Kumar P @Ranjit Nimbalka 

[Anand Kumar P]

Data Stream Actions send REST or SOAP requests from Flow Designer to APIs that:

• Return responses larger than 10 MB
• Return paginated responses

Data Stream Actions allow flows to process large requests by processing each object in the data stream using For Each flow logic.

Actions: 

• Actions can be added to any flow, enabling process analysts to automate Now Platform features without having to write code.
• An action is a reusable operation that enables process analysts to automate Now Platform features without having to write code.
• For example, the Create Record action allows process analysts to generate records in a particular table with particular values when certain conditions occur.
• ServiceNow core actions like Create Record require some familiarity with Now Platform tables and fields. Action designers can create application-specific actions to pre-set configuration details.
• For example, creating a Create Incident Task action ensures that the process analyst uses the correct table and field configuration each time the action is used. You can add application-specific actions by activating the associated spoke.

Hi @anvitha ash ,

Open Table sys_hub_action_instance.LIST from left navigation, In this table you can find actions in Action Type column  related to flow.
sys_hub_sub_flow_instance.LIST for subflows related to flow.
