With local actions, you can perform actions in the browser rather than going through the Salesforce server.

Either install a local action from an external library, such as Unofficial SF, or have a developer build one for you. For example, with local actions, a flow can:
- Open a related article in another window or tab.
- When the flow creates a record, open the record in another browser tab.
- When the flow finishes, close the browser or console tab.
- Get data from a database behind your firewall.
Note To add local actions to a flow, make sure that:
- The flow’s type is Screen Flow.
- Users can run the flow only in Lightning runtime. For example, don’t distribute the flow using a Visualforce component.
To add a local action to a flow:
- Add an Action element to the canvas.
- In the Action field, search for and select the local action.
- To pass data between the flow and the local action, set the action’s inputs and store its outputs.
