Posted on by Singapuram 55

Hello Experts,

I have implemented the custom workflow activity which I am calling from the action by passing input parameters and getting output parameters, Just I want to convert this custom workflow activity into a Plugin, the custom action which I am calling in the JavaScript.

How do I get and set the input and output parameters in the plugin for custom action? the suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

-Sri

    As you have created a custom workflow activity where you are passing input & output parameters.

    To convert to plugin:

    1. You will need to create plugin class library file.
    2. Implement IPlugin.
    3. To get the input parameters value the syntax is : "string inputParameter= context.InputParameters["InputParameterName"].ToString();".
    4. To set output parameters value the syntax is : "context.OutputParameters["OutputParametersName"] = outputParameter;".
    5. After done, register the plugin assembly & step.

    You create a Custom Action. That looks like a workflow without a body. There you can define input and output parameters and set them required/optional.

    docs.microsoft.com/.../create-own-actions

    Then you can register your Plugin on that action instead of one of the default optins (like create, update, ...). Inside your plugin code you got dictionaries inside the Plugin Execution Context called InputParameters/OutputParameters. You can set your values there.
