Hi Udit,

Please elaborate. What API are you referring to? Is this a third party API?

You can use business event docs.microsoft.com/.../home-page

Push it to Power Automate, there are connector there that allow you to send sms.

Hello Udit,

Agree with Ievgen that you can leverage business events and PowerAutomate to achieve that.

Irrespective of that, I would like to ask why you need that SMS?

If I would be your customer this is probably a message I would not like to receive ... maybe because I don't like to spend money and getting a SMS that tells me that an invoice that I have to pay soon arrives is not something I am looking out for :-)

Best regards,

Ludwig

With Power Automate you can do it with no development at all.

But if you want to connect to some third party API from D365FO, you need to ask the owner of that API for documentation. They might even have some C# example on how to call it. Then you could implement similar C# code, and use it from your x++ code to send the SMS.

Once you have that documentation and if you still need help, please share all the info with us and we can try to help. Thanks!

Heyy nikolaos,

Below is the documentation code to call API Key ,

Now need it as it suits for x++..

import urllib.request

import urllib.parse

from fpe import settings

def send_sms(numbers, message):

data = urllib.parse.urlencode({'apikey': settings.SMS_API_KEY, 'numbers': numbers,

'message': message, 'sender': settings.SMS_SENDER_ID, 'test': settings.TEST_SMS})

data = data.encode('utf-8')

request = urllib.request.Request("api.textlocal.in/.../

f = urllib.request.urlopen(request, data)

fr = f.read()

return fr

```

You could use example from this site to create a C# POST request (see chapter "C# HttpClient POST request"):

zetcode.com/.../

In that example there's class "Person" that contains properties that you need to generate the request JSON. In your case you would create class SMS with variables for apikey, numbers, message, sender and test (not sure what this last variable is used for).

First concentrate on getting your C# code to work. Once it works, use it from your x++ code.

This is a piece of Python code, not a documentation.

If you really hate reading documentation (which is not a good thing for a programmer), you can simply rewrite the Python code to C# or X++. You can copy the message, provide actual values instead of settings.SMS_API_KEY, settings.SMS_SENDER_ID and settings.TEST_SMS, encode it and use it inside the body of an HTTP request.
