An 'Action' in Appian is defined as a process model that appears as a link in the 'Actions' tab of the published Application. <br /><br />So it might be worth considering the work around, for instance, you can build a start form for the process model just with a link on the interface, and without any buttons in order to prevent launching the instance.<div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: How can i open a link directly from an Action.<p style='display:none'>OriginalPohttps://community.appian.com/thread/28164?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 22 Feb 2016 19:19:50 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:d7e51c6e-81ec-4d8b-858f-1c8151e4b8f7Lakshmi MeyyappanI do not know of a way to have an Action link directly to an external site, but you can have the action open to a form and then use a!safelink to link to the external site: <a href="https://forum.appian.com/suite/help/16.1/SAIL_Components.html#WebLink">forum.appian.com/.../SAIL_Components.html</a><br />If you configure the form as a quick task with a timeout then it will not show up in the tasks tab and you will not need to include a button on the form, this way it looks more like a link rather than looking like a form.<div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: How can i open a link directly from an Action.<p style='display:none'>OriginalPohttps://community.appian.com/thread/28163?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 22 Feb 2016 19:18:58 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:ca78d643-28df-4406-8ece-fa890114cdbfRahul GunduUsing an action, we can trigger a process but we can&#39;t open any external links directly using an action. If you want to open any external link from form use safe link. <a href="https://forum.appian.com/suite/help/16.1/SAIL_Components.html#WebLink">forum.appian.com/.../SAIL_Components.html</a><div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: How can i open a link directly from an Action.<p style='display:none'>OriginalPohttps://community.appian.com/thread/28162?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 22 Feb 2016 19:17:11 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:440c253e-4ce6-4a15-b825-c245bb10928fsparshsi do not think that is possible in appian , you can do that through an User input task although but not from action section.<div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: How can i open a link directly from an Action.<p style='display:none'>OriginalPohttps://community.appian.com/thread/28157?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 22 Feb 2016 18:52:41 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:4b994cd3-6ff0-434d-9caa-28aca910d5b9Pankaj KabdalNo i want to open an external link like www.google.com<div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: How can i open a link directly from an Action.<p style='display:none'>OriginalPohttps://community.appian.com/thread/28156?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 22 Feb 2016 18:45:39 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:a6dde8ee-2bee-4187-8598-245b7d7ce238sparshsyou mean through a user input task?? please elaborate on this..<div style="clear:both;"></div>
