    Of course you can! You'll need an Action-based Launch Point. When you create the Launch Point it automatically creates an Action that can be added to the Actions table on the Escalation.

    Yes.  When you create the Automation script, you pick the "Script with Action Launch Point".  That creates both the script and the Action record.

    Thanks Shannon. Makes sense.

    On a side note:
    I wonder if this Java class can be used to run automation scripts too?

    I'm new to escalations and actions. Just trying to piece it all together.

    You certainly could, but I would think it would be unusual.

    There are some very specific reasons why you would choose custom Java over Automation Scripts at this point (a bit more control and availability while in Admin mode are notable reasons), but they also come with significant downsides (requires a build/deploy to update logic, and adds steps to the upgrade process).

    If you're combining the two techniques (Java executing Automation Script) you essentially get all of the downside without much benefit.
