    See following MSDN article on registering Azure Service Bus endpoint for use with CRM:

    Database updates do not happen directly in CRM, but updates via the CRM services when changes are made in the UI or via external applications.

    Plugins allow you to capture those updates either before or after they happen. You can create a plugin that will provide additional functionality (execute custom code) once those changes are done (before or after commit).

    The Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK provides some samples on how to create plugins. In addition the links below will give you a starting point on creating plugins.

    Create a Basic Plugin:

    msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg594416.aspx

    Register a Plugin:

    msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg309580.aspx

    Debug a Plugin:

    msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg328574.aspx

    Thanks Andrew for the prompt response

    I would like to run a C# code or are there other possibilities?

    Also the custom plugin will need to be able to write  a message to the Azure Service Bus message queue.

    Thanks in Advance

    Hello,

    Yes. You will have to use either plugin or workflow. What kind of code are you looking to run?
