CRM Deep Links to Pre-populated Create Form on Dynamics for Mobile or Tablet App

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello,

I'm investigating whether it will be possible to create an offline record pre-populated with known values from another application running on the mobile/tablet device. the integratino mechanism we're looking at is "Deep Linking" as described in this page:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt607595.aspx

I can get the simple, blank quick create form to open using this mechanism, but I can't launch either the full entity form, or prepopulate any form in the mobile/tablet clients. The table below sets out my findings:

Test Case App URL Result on
Dynamics for Mobile
(Android)
Result on 
Dynamics for 
Tablet (iOS)
Web URL Result onWeb App
Launch quick create (no extraqs/pre-population)
ms-dynamicsxrm://?pagetype=create&etn=contact
Pass
Form opens
as expected

N/A N/A
Launch quick create with prep-populated values in extraqs
ms-dynamicsxrm://?pagetype=create&etn=contact&extraqs=fullname%3DJohn%20Smith%26firstname%3DJohn%26lastname%3DSmith
Fail
"Page not found..."

N/A N/A

Launch entity form with pre-populated values in extraqs
ms-dynamicsxrm://?pagetype=entityrecord&etn=contact&extraqs=fullname%3DJohn%20Smith%26firstname%3DJohn%26lastname%3DSmith

Fail
"Page not found..."

^^This is the target use case
https://org.crm#.dynamics.com/main.aspx?pagetype=entityrecord&etn=contact&extraqs=fullname%3DJohn%20Smith%26firstname%3DJohn%26lastname%3DSmith
Pass
Form opens
and populates as expected

Can anyone advise if this target use case highlighted above is possible, and if so, point to where I'm going wrong?

    Raised a call with Microsoft.


    Response was that the extraqs parameter is not supported for deep links, only the three listed on the MSDN page, i.e. pagetype, etn, id.

    Which is a pity as it would have been a good way of passing data between mobile apps while the device is offline.

    Thanks,
