When a Dock button is clicked, the action object is passed to the customActions function defined as defined in the Workspace Platform init function.

Initialize your Workspace Platform with customActions to be invoked by dock dropdown.

await init({
    browser: {},
    customActions: {
        "dropdownButton1": async (payload: CustomDropdownItemActionPayload) => {
            alert(payload.customData)
        },
        "dropdownButton2": async (payload: CustomDropdownItemActionPayload) => {
            alert(payload.customData)
        }
     }
});
