The AsyncActionParameter__mdt Custom Metadata Type

The AsyncActionParameter__mdt custom metadata type defines package-wide behavior for the async actions framework. Each record is a single named parameter, identified by its DeveloperName, with a text Value__c.

Note: This object is optional. You do not need to create any records to enable the framework's core functionality.

Fields

Field API Name	Label	Data Type	Required	Description
DeveloperName	API Name	Text(40)	Yes	The unique name used by the framework to look up this parameter
MasterLabel	Label	Text(40)	Yes	A human-readable label for this parameter
Value__c	Value	Text(255)	No	The value of this parameter
Description__c	Description	Long Text Area (1000)	No	An optional description of what this parameter controls

Available Parameters

The framework recognizes the following parameters. Any other DeveloperName values are ignored.

LoggerPlugin

Purpose	Routes the framework's internal logs to your preferred logging framework
Value	Fully qualified name of an Apex class that implements AsyncActionLogger.Adapter, such as the bundled AsyncActionLogger.NebulaAdapter
Example Value	AsyncActionLogger.NebulaAdapter
Default	When blank, missing, or invalid, the framework writes logs via System.debug()

DelayInMinutes

Purpose	The default number of minutes to delay before enqueueing new jobs, across all processors
Value	A whole number of minutes. Values that aren't whole numbers are ignored.
Example Value	0
Default	0 (no delay)
Override	Individual processors can override this via AsyncActionProcessor__mdt.DelayInMinutes__c

This parameter addresses orgs that have configured an org-wide default delay for queueable jobs. When set to 0, the framework explicitly requests immediate execution, bypassing the org-wide default.

Configuration

1. Navigate to Setup → Custom Metadata Types → Async Action Parameter → Manage Records
2. Click New
3. Set the Name to one of the parameters listed above (ex., LoggerPlugin)
4. Set the Value
5. Save the record

Testing With Parameters

Use AsyncActionTestUtils.mockParameter to inject a parameter value in your Apex tests:

@IsTest
static void myTest() {
	AsyncActionTestUtils.mockParameter('LoggerPlugin', 'MyLoggerAdapter');
	// ... test logic
}
