What do you mean by Calling a web resource ?? what is your web resource and why do you want to call it in Workflow ? Is that some sort of XML data ?

Hi Vikash,

JavaScript usually runs on client side while workflow runs on server side. While it is possible to call a custom action which then triggers a workflow from JavaScript, other way around is not possible easily.

The only way I have experimented in the past to do something similar is using SignalR (https://www.asp.net/signalr), where JavaScript on a CRM Form makes a connection to a SignalR server and listens to messages, and from server side you can call SignalR server, which then passes the message to JavaScript code that is listening to the SignalR server. From there, you can call whatever you like using JavaScript.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Nadeeja
