External events similar to Salesforce platform events

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 10

Hello,

I never worked with Dynamics before or know much about it. A client is requesting integration with an external database. I think the Client is using Microsoft Dynamics 365.

We implemented this with Salesforce and essentially works like this:

1. When a record (customer information, order data, delivery address, delivery date, customer address, etc) is updated in Salesforce, it will fire a Platform event

and send the updated fields as JSON to an external API. This external API can subscribe to these platform events in Salesforce and receive the

data in almost real time. Then it can update the external database.

2. When a record is added/updated in the external database, the API will get the updated data and sends it to a Salesforce platform event and Salesforce will process the data and

update the required data.

Is something similar possible in Dynamics and how should i look for it in documentation? 

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

    Hello,

    There are multiple ways to implement your requirement.

    First and the easiest to start with is Power Automate Flow - learn.microsoft.com/.../connection-dynamics365

    Second option that would require additional coding - Azure Functions:

    Third options would be plugins - learn.microsoft.com/.../tutorial-write-plug-in

    Hi,

    Another option is to use custom api feature in CRM dynamics
