## Description

Executes the Action with the specified ActionFID. The ActionFID can be found by looking at the FID column in the FLO_ACTIONS table of the configuration database. The function returns a True or False response indicating whether the action was successfully processed or not.

Because the action will execute Synchronously it will not return until the Action has completed processing.
