If the data source is anything Apex can access, which element would you use?

• A. DataRaptor Extract Action
• B. Remote Action
• C. HTTP Action
• D. Email Action

Answer: (B)

When you need OmniStudio to reach into logic or data that Apex can access, you use a Remote Action. This element acts as a bridge between OmniStudio and Apex, allowing you to call Apex methods from your OmniScript or Integration Procedure. Through Remote Action, you can invoke custom server-side logic, query Salesforce data with your own Apex code, perform complex processing, and then return the results into the flow. DataRaptor Extract is for pulling data from sources via declarative mappings and cannot invoke Apex methods, so it can’t leverage Apex-accessible data or logic. HTTP Action is for calling external web services, not for invoking Salesforce Apex. Email Action simply sends messages and isn’t about data retrieval. So Remote Action is the mechanism that directly taps into anything Apex can access.
