    • Specifying an entity for a Message Action makes it accessible for all messages sent from the particular entity through the Aptify Messaging form. If you want to specify the action for a particular message and not an entity as a whole, you can do so by creating a Message Templates record and specifying the message action on the template's Actions tab. See Setting Up Creating Message Templates for details.

    • Note that when using a message template that has message actions specified or when loading a template from a service that has associated message actions, a user must confirm whether or not to replace the existing actions for the service with the actions associated with the selected message template. See the Loading a Template section of the "Messaging" chapter of the Aptify User Guide for details.
