There are many tutorials for that. Example for calling action from JS here:

community.dynamics.com/.../web-api-executing-custom-action-via-javascript

And setting output parameters:

If you don't want to use webapi, you can use the process.js library by Paul Nieuwelaar as an alternative.

Very easy to use. You can find the files here:

github.com/.../processjs

Hope this helps.

function triggerAction() {
debugger;
alert("hello");
var serverURL = Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl();

var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open("POST", serverURL + "/api/data/v9.0/rvg_DetectDuplicate", true);
req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
req.setRequestHeader("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0");
req.setRequestHeader("OData-Version", "4.0");
req.onreadystatechange = function () {
debugger;
if (this.readyState == 4 /* request completed */) {
req.onreadystatechange = null;
alert("Request Sent");
if (this.status == 200 /* response ready */) {
var data = JSON.parse(this.response);
}
else {
var error = JSON.parse(this.response).error;
alert("Error is : " + error.message);
}
}
};
req.send();
alert("Request Completed");
}

This is my code, and my action is a global action with name "rvg_DetectDuplicate", i am getting an error - "Resource not found for rvg_DetectDuplicate"

A couple of questions:

1. are you able to debug and see where your error occurs (what line)?

2. Is your action activated?

Check the following if your action appears:

community.dynamics.com/.../why-my-action-is-not-available-through-webapi

Let me know

Hi Rahul,

What is the type of the output parameters of the action?

Simple output parameters: boolean, datetime, decimal, float, integer, money, picklist, string

Complex output parameters: EntityReference, Entity, EntityCollection

You can have any combination of simple output parameters or single complex output parameter to make your action available for WebApi.

But it has a limitation.i.e, if you combine complex output parameter with any other one (including another complex output parameter), your action becomes unavailable for WebApi calls.

See: community.dynamics.com/.../why-my-action-is-not-available-through-webapi

Hope this helps.
