Server-Side Actions

The AgileApps Cloud platform includes a number of built-in server-side actions. These actions are typically useful for an authenticated site. Common actions for a typical Web Application which supports authentication are listed here, and are used with the Common Parameters.

Considerations

• Each action is available as a service through a URL and expects certain parameters for a successful execution.
• Both HTTP GET and HTTP POST are supported for these actions.
