The following columns are displayed for each App Action:
Column | Description |

Last Run | When the App Action was last executed |
Success Rate | The percentage of runs that passed, with total run count |

To create a new App Action, click the Add App Action button in the top right corner. This opens the visual builder where you can configure your App Action.

Builder vs. JSON Mode
Gladly provides two ways to create and edit App Actions:
Visual Builder (Recommended) – A user-friendly interface for configuring App Actions without writing JSON directly.
JSON Editor – Allows direct editing of the App Action's underlying JSON configuration. This option is intended for advanced users and requires admin permissions. To switch to JSON mode, add ?appAction=0 to the URL.
