- **[Activate Invocable Actions for APIs](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.api_catalog_activate_invocable_actions.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Activate invocable actions for APIs. You can then use activated actions in your automations, such as those in flows, agents, and Apex code. You can activate actions by using API Catalog for MuleSoft, Heroku, and Apex REST APIs.
- **[Activate Agent Actions](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.api_catalog_activate_agent_topics_and_agent_actions.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    In API Catalog, you can activate agent actions for APIs. If you activate invocable actions for an API that has annotations for agent actions, the associated agent actions also activate.
- **[Deactivate Actions](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.api_catalog_deactivate_actions.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Deactivate actions for APIs if you no longer need the actions.
