Is it recommended to call published actions from within an object?

In Blue Prism, it is not recommended to call published actions from within an object. This practice can lead to several issues related to maintainability and performance. When you call published actions within an object, it can create a tightly coupled system where changes to one action may inadvertently impact others, making troubleshooting more difficult.

Moreover, published actions are designed to be utilized across multiple objects and their primary purpose is to facilitate reuse and consistency of functionality within the process. Calling them from within an object could complicate the flow and prevent the clarity that is essential for managing automation efficiently.

Following established best practices promotes a clear structure in Blue Prism development, allowing for easier updates, better debugging, and improved collaboration among team members. Keeping the interactions between objects simple and clear enhances the overall system design, making it more robust against changes in the future.
