I know this post is quite old, but in case anyone else is also wondering:

For List type UI Actions, you can use GlideList2.action(action_id, action_name, sys_ids) instead of gsftSubmit().  gsftSubmit() will not work from the List view because g_form is not defined.  The required inputs for GlideList2.action() are the sys_id of the action, the action name, and the sys_ids of records to run the action on (comma-separated string, either the "gsft_allow" attribute from the UI action's DOM element, or the GlideList2.getChecked() items if the gsft_allow attribute is empty).  Here's an example:

function onClickFunction() {
  // Do client-side things, like a confirmation popup

  // After client-side things are done
  var action_id = // sys_id of the UI Action
  var action_name = // action_name of the UI Action
  var tablename = // name of the table for this list

  // Get the GlideList for this table by its tablename
  var the_list = GlideList2.get(tablename);

  // Get the checked values which this action is allowed for
  // First try checking gsft_allow, fall back on GlideList2.getChecked()
  var selected = gel(action_id).getAttribute("gsft_allow");
  if (selected === null || selected === "") {
    selected = the_list.getChecked(); 
    if (selected === null || selected === "") {
      return; // Couldn't find any selected values
    }
  }
  
  // Re-run the action on the server side
  the_list.action(action_id, action_name, selected);
}

if (typeof window == 'undefined')
	serverScript();

function serverScript() {
  // Do server-side things
}

Hopefully this helps someone else.  It took me quite a bit of digging to figure this all out.
