    Hi Dinesh,

    If you have a CRM Rest builder solution in your CRM then you can use Execute Action option to check if it is working or not.

    Also please do use latest js library to execute action.

    Hi There,

    few things:

    1. if you dont know where it is failing - the best to know is debug the java script in your browser and know the culprit line.

    2. As you said you are on V9 and as Ajit mentioned above the Xrm.Page is deprecated you should start using form context rather.

    Hi Dinesh,

    Which D365 version you are using? If you are using D365 V9, then Xrm.Page library has been deprecated. You need to pass PrimaryControl as first CRM parameter from Ribbon Workbench, then pass it to the JS function. At client side you need to use formContext.data.entity instead of Xrm.Page.data.entity and Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext().getClientUrl() instead of  Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl().

    Please refer below links:

    Thanks,
