Unable to setup a webhook on product create/update in FinOps

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by waqashassan98 10

Hello

Reference: Microsoft Finance & Operations

I am trying to setup a business event or an alert, where whenever a product is created or any field of it is updated, we want to send the notification to an external tool via WebHook.

I tried to setup alerts in Released Product section, but it allows alert on specific field updates, not all fields.

I also tried to setup a webhook plugin through plugin registration tool, but apparently it does not load entities/tables from finops.

https://community.dynamics.com/crm/b/nishantranaweblog/posts/register-a-new-webhook-through-plugin-registration-tool-in-dynamics-365


Please let me know if there is a reliable way to setup webhooks in finops. In addition to products, I have to add webhooks on prices and contracts as well.

Any pointers shall be highly appreciated.

Thanks

    Yes, I am referring to the same link, But you can configure it on your local VM, no need to download the VM from LCS. but the rest of the things will be required.

    Are you referring to this:

    docs.microsoft.com/.../business-events-dev-doc

    Please correct me, if I am wrong. I guess I need to download VM from lcs.dynamics.com, and tinker with code in this scenario.

    Hi

    You can create your custom business event and can trigger on insert and update or any other event.

    Ideally I would like to use business events, but I believe that it is lacking some trigger points. i.e. I want to track updates on Product table.

    I don't see any such option in the default business events.

    Edit:

    Is your suggestion for the Business Event Framework, valid for Finops as well, or just for CRM?

    Hey Waqas

    Kindly confirm, either you want to use the business event feature or want to write everything on your own? using the business event feature you can also make the HTTPS call.

    I would recommend you to go with the Microsoft Business event framework and avoid unnecessary customization.

    Please have look

    Hi

    I want to send messages to http instead of service bus.

    To send messages, I need to add custom triggers for business events, for which I will have to write code (I am not sure where to write that code)

    The custom trigger that I need is --> on update any field of a product, or on adding a new product

    Hi

    As your plugin is reading the data from the service bus. So, please confirm the below items are properly configured.

    Services Bus On Azure Porta?

    End Point for the Business event on Dynamics Finance & Operations is configured?

    Require Business event is Active in  Dynamics Finance & Operations?

    Are you able to send the message to the service bus?

    Thanks André for pointing me to the right direction. However, I am not sure how to setup the development environment for X++.

    1. Do I need to install anything other than default Visual Studio?

    2. How do I connect it with our finops account?

    3. How to publish changes?

    Most links I found, they are referring to AOT, but I couldn't find any such option in default Visual Studio installation.

    Sorry for sounding noob, but I am new to .net stack.

    Hi Waqashassan98,

    The link about webhooks you shared is for CRM, this is a different technology compared to F&O. You can add business events with help of a customization to bypass setting up rules for each individual field: docs.microsoft.com/.../business-events-dev-doc
