Trying to embed a HTML Web Resource on a form but struggling to pass the record ID

Hi everyone, we use Retool to supplement Dynamics 365 and access Dynamics data using the Dataverse API which works fine. If my Retool application URL is at https://domain.com/apps/Quoter?id= I can put the id of the Dynamics record ID at the end and view the id in Retool as a URL Parameter. This works fine I want to add a button to the ribbon for example where pressing it opens the URL in a new tab and passes the id parameter.

However, I want to instead embed the application into a form in Dynamics, but I'm strugging on how to properly pass the record ID when doing it this way as nothing I do seems to work!

The embed code Retool provides is:

I've tried ChatGPT and Gemini and nothing seems to work. I can display the application in my web resource no problem, but I can't seem to figure out how to pass the current record's id with the URL.

Thank you!

Hi,

In my testing, I created a web resource as follows.

When I click the button, it passes the current record ID into the text area.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en">

<head>

<meta charset="UTF-8">

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

<title>Document</title>

</head>

<body>

<div><textarea id="textarea" placeholder="Shows the current record ID."></textarea></div>

<button>click</button>

</body>

<script>

const button = document.querySelector("button");

const txtArea= document.getElementById("textarea");

button.addEventListener("click",()=>{

//Get Current Record GUID

let ID = window.top.Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();

//Pass the ID into the text area.

txtArea.innerText = ID;

})

</script>

</html>

Embed this web resource in the contact form.
