Posted on by Elowy GrootCRM

I want to track visits to a specific Portal page. And I want this log to be stored as an entity in CRM so I can use it for other CRM purposes.
I was wondering if I can start an on demand workflow from javascript within the Portal to perform this task. Or maybe someone has a better idea...

Thanks a lot!

Elowy.

Hi,

You can use entity form action buttons,using which you can call your on demand workflow.

Thanks Mahender.

And is it possible to hide the entity form and 'push' the button from javascript? Otherwise I still need some user interaction to start the workflow.

You can use Odata calls to update your crm entity on Dynamics Portal.

Thanks, Saad.

But I think you need the Xrm framework to perform Odata calls from javascript. And as far as I know the framework is not availble in the Portal.

you can do it easily using entity lists odata in portals. Refer this:

Nice! But will this work for updates on entities a well? Or just for GET calls?

You can use OData Feed only for querying you can't use it for entity creation from portal.
