Hello,

I recommend reviewing the official Microsoft documentation: Integration between finance and operations apps and third-party services - Finance & Operations | Dynamics 365 | Microsoft Learn

OData action and Custom services in D365FO

Guys, I go through the link

The difference I found...

OData not supported SOAP.

Custom service - Supported both SOAP and JSON.

OData services are mostly used fot CRUD operations.

Custom services are used when like to get data back. Here we used contact and services classes and service group.

OData and Custom services both are supported Synchronous integration. As both are return result immediately.

Am I correct?
