# How to run Form Action from Lightning Component

To run form action from lightning component one has to fire FLX\_KB:ApplicationEvent event and pass following JSON object as 'data' parameter:

```
{
	"target": "{FORM_ID}",
	"busEvent": {
		"source": "external",
		"actions": {
			"{FORM_ACTION_NAME}": {
              "parameters": {
                  "{FORM_ACTION_PARAMETER_NAME}": "{PARAMETER_VALUE}"
               }
           }
        }
    }
}
```

{% hint style="success" %}
Parameter value should be replaced with value that needs to be passed from Lightning component or any value from the form itself. To pass form values as action parameters use form objects, such as {$Form}, {$Variables}, form context object ect.
{% endhint %}

Function in below example will run "Check options" action on the form.

```
runAction : function(component, event, helper) {
    var params = 'January;March';
        
    var appEvent = $A.get("e.FLX_KB:ApplicationEvent");
    var jsonObject = {
		"target": "{FORM_ID}",
			"busEvent": {
             "source": "external",
              "actions": {
                  "Check options": {
                      "parameters": {
                          "options": params
                       }
                   }
               }
          }
     };
     
     appEvent.setParams({"data" : jsonObject});
     appEvent.fire();
        
}
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.flexikanban.ai/components/forms/using-form/how-to-run-form-action-from-lightning-component.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
