Hi there! I have CRM Online instance.

Please could you tell me how to get Organization URL in workflow code?

I have C# based CodeActivity dll. And I need full url of organization. But I can not find solution(

I have variables in my cod:

IWorkflowContext context = executionContext.GetExtension<IWorkflowContext>();
IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory =
                    executionContext.GetExtension<IOrganizationServiceFactory>();
IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);

But I have found only OrganizationName and OrganizationId (guid) properties.

if you vae that information you can build the url you want as CRM has a standard url for services (well in this new crm 365)

You can build your string for example if you want de API URL

string _url = "https://"+ OrgName+".api.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v8.2/"

Organization Service

String _url = https://"+OrgName+".api.crm.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc"

In case you have different version for CRM you can check the url strings under Settings/Customizations/Developer Resources

Please let me know if this is what you were asking for.

I need full address of my Organization.

For example if I got OrganizationName as xxx

I don't know full address, it can be:

xxx.crm1.dynamics.com

xxx.crm2.dynamics.com

xxx.crm3.dynamics.com

......

Bad thing that I do not know how to know crmX.dynamics.com part. Which number.

Hi Lee, ok I understand now what you were saying, one question, do you need it on the code activity or is there a possibility to get the url using javascript and pass it into a hidden field and read it on the workflow

It need in workflow only. Workflow does not connect to any entity.

Here is an idea

1. You have a workflow that runs under a specific entity

2. It runs when a record is created,updated or deleted

3. If you add some javascript code on the load event when user creates the record you can save the client url on a field

4. You can pass this value to the code activity

Or am I missing something?

Hi Lee I was playing with the workflow and I found something, if you create a text field on your entity and one step before your code activity call, you can set up the value using the property under the entity you are using, the out of the box field is "Record URL(Dynamic)"

1. Before your code activity call select the update step on the current record

2. Look for your new custom field and click on it

3. From the dropdowns list on the right side of the window select the entity and under the attributes dropdown search for the "Record URL(Dynamic)" and update your custom field

4. Send this custom field value as a parameter to your code activity and that´s it

public static OrganizationService GetCRMService()
{
var crConnection = CrmConnection.Parse(@"Url=http://IP address or domain name; Username=username;password=******;");
return new OrganizationService(crConnection);
}

then you can use above connection like this
var crmService = GetCRMService();

Hi- If you provide an idea why you need organization URL within custom activity would be great?

In case that is something that needs to be accomplished through custom activity, then you can add an Input parameter of string type in your custom activity and set/hard code it through your workflow.

Best Regards,

Abhishek
