Hi,

I'm working with Dynamics CRM (dynamics 365 trial) and an Azure queue. I'm using the Azure Service bus to communicate CRM with the queue.

I need to read the queue (on a scheduled basis) and perform actions within CRM depending on the content of the message (i.e. adding/removing Security roles to a list of users).

I'm already able to post messages to the queue with a step directly associated to the service endpoint via the Registration tool, or with a C# plugin.

BUT! I'm not sure how to create a listener or a recurring task that could be monitoring the queue for new messages, and how to do the actions from the message.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,

+1 to what Martijn wrote, but also Azure WebJobs would do the job:

RE: Read an azure queue from Dynamics CRM

For this scenario I would look at an Azure Function. It's great for job scheduling or on demand processes. Here's a good post on how to connect to crm from an Azure Function.
