Hi there Oliver! 

To help anyone else who may be looking into this question -- there are 2 ways to create a headless firefly app

1. initialize your application without selecting web assets 

2. removing web-src from your existing applications

Hi SarahXu,

Just need to understand if I delete the web-src than how I will invoke my action. Suppose I want to invoke one of our action as soon as app deploy. How I can achieve this. Any pointers will really help us in achieving one use case of ours.

Thanks in advance.

Hi brijesht4727374 - you could create cron job to execute your action. Step by step guide here: https://adobeio-codelabs-alarms-adobedocs.project-helix.page/
