Invoking Actions via Web Services (CRM Online)

Hello

I would like to verify something with the community. From what I have read in the knowledge base it turns out that SOAP WS's support Execute but do not support OAuth and on the other hand CRM Online supports only OAuth but REST doesn't support the Execute action. For me it is a bit of a Catch 22 situation.

Is my only option to use the native SDK libraries via which I should invoke Execute? What we want to do is to invoke Actions from BizTalk via Web Services. For BizTalk we have an adapter which will do the work but in order to test we wanted to use the WS and not code but maybe it's no option...

Cheers

For BizTalk integration I will not recommend using the REST, even that BizTalk have a REST adapter that can be used with no custom code, however not all the SDK calls are implemented in REST endpoints. Using the SOAP will be the recommended option
