Posted on by btc_dynamics

If I create a new task via the API and get an id back in the format: '5c05aba9-37eb-ed11-a7c6-002248082f93' etc. can I use that to build a URL to the task in any way? (Without knowing the app ID).

Alternatively, is it possible to get the URL to the task returned in the response?

The URL i'm looking for would be along the lines of:
https://{account}.dynamics.com/main.aspx?appid={app id}&pagetype=entityrecord&etn=task&id={task id}

Hi btc_dynamics,

what @Guido Preite said is correct if you don't pass the app id it will open an task record in recent opened App.

On top of that you can save the appid in a environment variable and retrieve that environment variable and pass it in a variable.

Thanks,

Manoj Mane.

if I remember correctly if you don't specify the appid inside that url (so not including the parameter) the url opens in the last app opened by the user.

hope it helps
