## Considerations

- Renamed objects are supported. For example, if the Account is renamed to Hospital.
- Multiple objects can be identified in a single query.
- Object synonyms are supported for common standard objects. For example, if a user’s request includes the word “deal”, the action can determine that the user is referring to an opportunity. Customization of synonyms isn’t supported.
