What is the purpose of the gs.isInteractive() function in a business rule?

• A. The function returns true if the action is performed by an interactive user
• B. It returns true if a scheduled job is running
• C. It returns true if called from a UI policy
• D. It always returns false

Answer: (A)

gs.isInteractive() checks whether the code is running in an interactive user session. It returns true when a real user is performing an action in the UI (for example, submitting a form or saving a record from the UI). It returns false in non-interactive contexts like scheduled jobs, background scripts, or data imports. This lets you tailor behavior so UI-related actions (like certain prompts or real-time notifications) only happen for interactive sessions, while non-interactive runs skip them. UI policies are client-side and don’t set this server-side flag, so they aren’t what this function reflects.
