It is currently not possible to call multiple actions in workshop on click of a button.
Similar to the way we trigger multiple events on click
or any other walkaround
Also is it posible to know what is the active overlay which is currently opened or which page we are currently on?
Hi @Benutzer7 you are correct. calling multiple action types at the same time is currently not directly possible.
If you have a very clear set of action types you always want to call, you could workaround with automations. Say your first action type call creates a new object. Your automation(s) would have a trigger for created objects of this object type and each call the additional follow up action. See here the documentation of automations. There are various trigger conditions and effects you can set.

However, what you need to keep in mind, this automation would be called on any creation. Not only on creations caused by this specific action type you might want to limit it on. Of course you could have an object property that specifies how (by which action type) it got created and is set during your initial creation action. you could use this to limit the object set scope that triggers. However, this needs to be considered in your object type design. Pinging here our magician @Jamie if she has another idea?
On your second question, you can configure your workshop module paging to be variable backed. This means you can switch the page by changing the backing variable string to the respective page-id.

However… last time I used this, the behavior is only one directional. Meaning the variable change switches the page, but the variable is unfortunately not updated via the switch page event. We explored this in this thread.

Thanks @Phil-M, Is it possible to hide the popup “Edits successfully applied.“ everytime we trigger the action or an object table which is backed by an event?
Not possible to hide popups what i know of. I would love to be able to choose to display it or not, or at least position it to the side of the screen.
I remember you can customize the success/failure message if you use a function backed action type, but I am not sure if a silent mode is possible.
Also success message can be customized in OMA under Interface.

Yes I agree. Basically this described the approach our team has explored—-we create an object type with the only purpose of it serving as the trigger of different automations backed by various action types. To avoid executing the actions multiple times, consider setting up a boolean property of this object type which represents whether the relevant actions have been successfully completed or not (e.g., “action_is_completed”)–this boolean property is initialized with false and is changed to true at the end of the action type logic to show the action has finished, and you can incorporate this boolean property as part of the automation trigger condition (only trigger if “action_is_complete” == false)
Other than automation, I do not know any other way except for writing one function which combines all the action type logic, but depending on the number of the edits it might not work well.

You can hide successful message now, feature available in Action (Under UI option)
Also, if you have already mapped all parameters for action and even don’t want the action pop-up as well and trigger the action just on click of button. You can use this option from workshop.
