Hi Eugenio,

Thanks for giving me that pointer. I am a bit confused on how to implement this. From what I can gather the js-api has been implemented in typescript as the Alfresco JS API services. This service in turn gives access to a bunch of api classes . However, I cant find the action api in any of these. Is there a way to call the action api from the JS API Service or do I need to call a webscript to access the action api.

Hi Guys,

Unfortunately I did not get any further response on this question so we implemented it as a call to the actions service via a webscript. I wrote a blog on this here for anyone that needs it.
