Actions Explorer

Overview

The Actions Explorer (app.stackone.com/actions) shows all available actions across your connectors. Use it to find actions, check parameters, and test them in the Playground.

Understanding Actions

Actions are the building blocks of StackOne connectors. Each action represents a specific operation you can perform with a provider, such as:

List operations - Retrieve collections of records (e.g., list employees, list contacts)
Get operations - Fetch a single record by ID
Create operations - Add new records to a system
Update operations - Modify existing records
Delete operations - Remove records

Action Types

Provider-Specific Actions

Direct access to provider APIs. These actions expose the full capabilities of each integration.Examples:

gong_crm_search_calls - Search CRM calls in Gong
ashby_list_applications - List applications from Ashby ATS
workday_list_employees - List employees from Workday HRIS
salesforce_list_accounts - List accounts from Salesforce CRM

Unified Actions

Standardized actions that work consistently across all providers in a category. Use these when you want your agent or application to work with any provider without provider-specific code.Examples:

iam_list_users - List users from Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, or any IAM provider
iam_list_groups - List groups across identity providers
documents_list_files - List files from Google Drive, SharePoint, Dropbox, or any document provider
documents_download_file - Download files with a consistent interface

Unified actions normalize data schemas across providers, so your code works identically regardless of which system your user connects.

Want to build unified actions for your own connectors? See the Connector Engine to create custom connectors with unified schemas.

Using the Actions Explorer

Browsing Connectors

The main page displays all available connectors in a list. Each row shows:

Connector name with icon and action count
Supported auth configs (OAuth, API Key, Basic, etc.)
Quick actions - Play button to test in Playground

Click on any connector row to open the details panel.

Exploring Connector Actions

After selecting a connector, a side panel opens with:

Search bar - Filter actions by name or keyword
Tags filter - Filter by action type or category
Auth Configs filter - Filter by authentication type
Use in Playground - Launch the connector directly in the AI Playground
MCP setup info - Ready-to-use MCP server URL and headers
AI Toolset docs - Link to SDK documentation

The actions table lists all available operations for the connector with their names and descriptions.

Use the Active Actions Only toggle to show only actions that are currently enabled for your account.

From Explorer to Execution

Once you’ve found an action you want to use, you have several options:

Test in AI Playground

Test the action interactively with natural language using LLMs

Use via MCP

Access the action through StackOne’s MCP server

Call via SDK

Use the AI Toolset SDKs to call the action programmatically

Direct API Call

Execute the action directly via the Actions RPC API

Example: Using an Action

After finding an action like workday_list_employees, here’s how you’d use it:

AI Playground
MCP
TypeScript SDK
Actions API

Go to app.stackone.com/playground
Select your Workday account
Ask: “List all employees from Workday”
The AI will automatically use the workday_list_employees action

// The action is automatically available as a tool
// in any MCP-compatible client
{
  "tool": "workday_list_employees",
  "arguments": {
    "limit": 100
  }
}

import { StackOneToolSet } from "@stackone/stackone-client-ts";

const toolset = new StackOneToolSet();
const tools = await toolset.fetchTools({
  accountIds: ["workday-account-id"],
  actions: ["workday_list_employees"]
});

// Use with your AI framework
const result = await tools[0].execute({ limit: 100 });

curl -X POST "https://api.stackone.com/actions/rpc" \
  -u "$STACKONE_API_KEY:" \
  -H "x-account-id: YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "action": "workday_list_employees",
    "query": { "page_size": 100 }
  }'

Best Practices

Start with the Playground

Before integrating actions into your application, test them in the AI Playground to understand their behavior and outputs.

Check Action Parameters

Review the required and optional parameters for each action. Some actions require specific inputs to function correctly.

Monitor Usage

Use Request Logs to monitor action executions and troubleshoot issues.
