# Best Practice for Making Remote Calls (Managed Package)

For the managed package runtime, when making remote calls, start the flow with the `executeAction` method. Do not start the flow with the `invokeAction` method. To standardize the action flow and use the built-in logic of the action framework, Vlocity recommends that all action flows begin with `executeAction`.

For Omnistudio on standard runtime, see [Omnistudio Help](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.os_omnistudio_standard.htm&language=en_US).

The `invokeAction` method's purpose is to make the remote call with request parameters processed by the `preProcess` method.  The `preProcess` method, by default, supports queueable and chainable process flows. The `postProcess` method standardizes the response in a predictable format.
