Step 8
Turning it into a Server Action...
Now you have a REST action... ...you can create a Server
Action to call it from.

You'll probably want to return the Response from

your Post Execute from the Server Action.

Your Server Action can be set

as publicly available and
can now be added as a

brand new one!
