Hi @sainath3,

 

UI Actions are meant to be triggered manually.
You would have to duplicate the code in the UI Action in your scheduled job.

Hello @sainath3 ,

UI Actions are typically used for user interactions on forms and lists, and may not be the best way to perform server-side operations like a scheduled job. It might be better to encapsulate the logic you need in a Script Include, which can be called both from a UI Action and a Scheduled Job.

If my response helps you resolve your issue. Kindly mark it as helpful & correct. It will be helpful to future readers! 

Thanks and Regards,
Abhijeet Pawar.
