Run External Action in script

Is it possible to run external actions via automation scripts? I am trying to do some validation before running an external action so I only run the action when appropriate, and I can’t see a way to do that without using automation scripts.

What do you mean by ‘external actions’?

I don’t get it. Do you want to use a script or not?

Apologies, I should have explained be better. By external action I mean a custom integration app external action. This is really just an extension of what I asked here: End an automation partway through with script. I would like to be able to start a button automation, check some criteria, and then conditionally run an external action based on the results of a the check. I know I can cancel an automation using an error (only 5 times before reset), or I could set a checkbox and have an additional rule based automation, but these options have some drawbacks. I thought maybe with the addition of the executeAction method, it might be possible to call external actions directly in scripts, which would make it much easier to run them conditionally.

I have checked, and it’s currently not possible to execute an integration external action via a script, sorry.
