Create Records Using Quick Actions

Creates a record via a quick action. This resource is available in REST API version 28.0 and later.

Add all required fields to an object before you create a quick action for that object. If you add a required field after creating a quick action, the field doesn’t appear in the quick action’s describe results. Then, when the quick action runs, the field isn’t available and an error occurs for the missing field. If you don’t want the required field to appear in the quick action’s layout, set a default value for the field.

When working with actions, also refer to sObject Quick Actions.
