I have created an automation button called transfer for a database in a space:

The button action executes correctly when executed from a button press using the transfer button made visible in a view of the database:

When the button is executed from the Actions button in the space design view, the feedback is that the action was executed successfully but the action is not triggered:

If you press the button in table view, you are running the automation for that row (= entity)  
If you run from the Actions menu, it runs for any selected entity/entities (or none if none are highlighted).  
Could this explain what you’re experiencing?

Ah, thanks Chris, exactly my problem, works perfectly.
