Scheduled Run of a Dynamics CRM plugin

Posted on by 380

Hi All,

In our Dynamics CRM we are using workflows and plugins (nothing unusual), however we have certain workflows that triggers a custom plugins as a step.

What i was wondering and trying to find, and testing is is there a way to create a scheduled workflow/MS flow that will run automatically only a certain CRM plugin, and if the plugin fails to either alert me via email or retry automatically to run it again?

I was looking for MS flow, which have visibility of CRM plugin base, and i can specify the plugin key or name that i want, however there is no (or i cannot see it) a action or trigger that will run this flow (lets say every 24 hours or to set a date and time when this to be run).

Hope someone have any advise or workaround.

Let me know if you need any clarification on my idea.

Regards

    Hi,

    follow the steps in the blog - https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2016/12/10/executing-dynamics-365-workflows-from-microsoft-flow/

    In the step 1 trigger, you can use recurrence action that helps you schedule for daily and trigger your current workflow from the steps

    You could move your plugin code to Custom Workflow Activity(CWA), it wont be a lot of re-work. And then use your CWA in scheduled workflow to perform the task and if the task fails send an email from your workflow. I know you can use flow but in this case, CRM workflow and a CWA should be more than enough.
