# Run web service action from action menu item

You can use a custom action menu item to manually start an outbound web service action from a form. As a result, for a selected record, you can manually run the web service action from the form to which you added the action menu item. **Example**: Create an action menu item and add it to the **Sales orders** form. On the **Sales orders** form, you can select a record and click the action menu item button. This starts a web service action to post a sales order. The web service action is processed, and the selected sales order is posted.
