Call action that trigger a plugin from js

Posted on by Jf Marwen

have a scenario where I need to trigger a plugin on a ribbon button click (SYNCH), I have setup the commands and buttons, I have created a custom action,that will be registered in the plugin reg tool to wire up the event. I have tested the ribbon button that just does a simple hello world, so I am sure that the basics are dine and set. My issue lies when I try to call the function that does a SOAP invocation. Here is my code below.

Also i used this code

function CallAction() {

debugger;

var entityId = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();;

var entityName = "Product";

var requestName = "new_ProductPr";

ExecuteActionCreateProject(entityId, entityName, requestName);

}

function ExecuteActionCreateProject(EntityId,entityId, entityName, requestName) {

// Creating the request XML for calling the Action

var requestXML = ""

requestXML += "<s:Envelope xmlns:s=\"schemas.xmlsoap.org/.../envelope\">";

requestXML += " <s:Body>";

requestXML += " <Execute xmlns=\"schemas.microsoft.com/.../Services\" xmlns:i=\"www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema-instance\">";

requestXML += " <request xmlns:a=\"schemas.microsoft.com/.../Contracts\">";

requestXML += " <a:Parameters xmlns:b=\"schemas.datacontract.org…/System.Collections.Generic\">";

requestXML += " <a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>";

requestXML += " <b:key>Target</b:key>";

requestXML += " <b:value i:type=\"a:EntityReference\">";

requestXML += " <a:Id>"+entityId+"</a:Id>";

requestXML += " <a:LogicalName>"+entityName+"</a:LogicalName>";

requestXML += " <a:Name i:nil=\"true\">";

requestXML += " </a:Name></b:value>";

requestXML += " </a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>";

requestXML += " <a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>";

requestXML += " <b:key>EntityId</b:key>";

requestXML += " <b:value i:type=\"c:string\" xmlns:c=\"www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema\">"+EntityId+"</b:value>";

requestXML += " </a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>";

requestXML += " </a:Parameters>";

requestXML += " <a:RequestId i:nil=\"true\">";

requestXML += " </a:RequestId>";

requestXML += " <a:RequestName>"+requestName+"</a:RequestName>";

requestXML += " </request>";

requestXML += " </Execute>";

requestXML += " </s:Body>";

requestXML += "</s:Envelope>";

var req = new XMLHttpRequest();

req.open("POST", GetClientUrl(), false)

//Get the Response from the CRM Execute method

//var response = req.responseXML.xml;

req.onerror = function (e) {

alert(req.statusText);

};

if (req.status === 200) {

var ServicePath = "/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc/web";

return clientUrl + ServicePath;

Hi Jf Marwen,

Please do refer following code to call action that will trigger plugin from js. It's working for me.

//Call main function on ribbon button

Synch = function()

{

var url;

url = "actionlogicalName"; //Your Action Name

var parameters = {};

var CurrentRecordId = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();

if (CurrentRecordId != null)

parameters.RecordId = CurrentRecordId.replace("{", "").replace("}", "");

callCustomAction(url, SynchProductFunction, parameters);

}

//Get Output

SynchProductFunction = function(result)

{

var ResultData = result.OutPutParameterIfRequired;

alert(ResultData);

}

//Call action

callCustomAction = function (uri, successCallback, data) {

debugger;

if (!typeof uri === "string") {

console.log("sdkRequest: uri parameter must be a string.");

}

if (data) {

data = JSON.stringify(data);

}

var req = new XMLHttpRequest();

req.open("POST", Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/api/data/v8.2/" + uri, false);

req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");

req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");

req.setRequestHeader("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0");

req.setRequestHeader("OData-Version", "4.0");

req.onreadystatechange = function () {

if (this.readyState == 4) {

req.onreadystatechange = null;

if (this.status == 200) {

var result = JSON.parse(this.response)

successCallback(result);

}

else {

var errorText = this.responseText;

Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(errorText);

}

}

};

req.send(data);

}

Note: One more thing I have noticed that we need to create action in internet explorer browser only.

Which CRM version are you working on, if its D365, try using this code to invoke action, or create this code for your own action using CRM Rest Builder([View:https://github.com/jlattimer/CRMRESTBuilder/releases:750:50])

Hi,

There are 3 pieces to this implementation-

1) If the javascript code is getting called from the ribbon button

2) If the code to call the action in JavaScript is able to call the action successfully

3) If the plugin is getting triggered when you execute the custom action

You have verified the 1st piece, Use Rest Builder tools and call your custom action from there and see if the plugin is getting triggered or not.

carldesouza.com/dynamics-crm-rest-builder

You can download the tool here if not already- github.com/.../releases

Hope this helps.

Hi Jf Marwen,

The code given by Pravin Pawar will trigger the action to be called on click of ribbon button, then register the plugin in Plugin registration tool and call it using the action name. This will fire plugin on click of ribbon button.

Hardik Chauhan

Have you copy pasted exact same code?

If not please share the code you have pasted, i have shared a link with my reply as well, you can find a managed solution on that link CRMRESTBUILDER.zip(something along that line), import it on your CRM instance, go to settings-->customization, you will see a button for CRM rest builder near ribbon, click on that to open solution, and create a code to run your action from there, most of the time, code created from that tool will just run fine, without editing.

This is the code from CRMRESTBUILDER

var parameters = {};
var entity = {};
entity.id = "";
entity.entityType = "product";
parameters.entity = entity;

var new_ProductPrRequest = {
entity: parameters.entity,

getMetadata: function() {
return {
boundParameter: "entity",
parameterTypes: {
"entity": {
"typeName": "mscrm.product",
"structuralProperty": 5
}
},
operationType: 0,
operationName: "new_ProductPr"
};
}
};

Xrm.WebApi.online.execute(new_ProductPrRequest).then(
function success(result) {
if (result.ok) {
//Success - No Return Data - Do Something
}
},
function(error) {
Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(error.message);
}
);

not working
