Flexcard actions allow you to launch OmniScripts within a modal or flyout window, keeping the user on the same page. This configuration enables the OmniScript to access parent record data for pre-population without navigating away.

Core information

Select the Omniscript action type on the Flexcard and choose the specific script to launch.

More details and nuances

Launching an OmniScript in a flyout includes a scrollbar, whereas calling it in a new page does not.
