Creating web links from outside into Business Central

Posted on by BN-26111159-0
Hi,
 
I have an application which creates a webpage for our users (actually it's a CTI application). I'd like to create some links on this page which lead the users straight into the appropriate page in BC, e.g. into one of the latest five sales orders of the customer who's calling in.
The application is completely agnostic about the user, whether the user is already logged in into BC, whether the user is allowed to see the respective page in BC, and so on. Our BC is hosted on-prem (if this is relevant). The application can retrieve the SO numbers directly from the SQL server, so these are known.
 
If I copy the link to the respective page in BC, all I got is e.g.
 
What I would like to have is something like
i.e. the SO number in clear text instead of coding it into an obfuscated bookmark.
 
Does anybody know a solution for this issue?
 
Thank you in advance!
 
Bernhard

    Hello,
     
    Business Central URLs use an internal bookmark parameter to identify records, and there’s no built-in way to replace it with a clear-text key like No_.
     
    To achieve this, you can either
    (1) retrieve the bookmark via API/OData and construct the link dynamically, or
    (2) build a small custom page or handler that accepts No_ as a query parameter and redirects to the correct record using AL code.
