How to call a global Action in javascript, with one entity reference input parameter and one output parameter

Posted on by Arghyadeep 5

I have this global action with one entity-reference input parameter and one output parameter(string).

I need to call this using javascript

I used the following code - 

```

function CallGlobalCustomAction(executionContext) {
    
    if(!executionContext) {
        console.log("no execution context found");
        return;
    }

    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
    if(!formContext) {
        console.log("no form context found");
        return;
    }

    //get the current organization name
    var serverURL = formContext.context.getClientUrl();

    //query to send the request to the global Action 
    var actionName = "osm_OSMActionTaskSendEmail251267fffe73ea11a811000d3a86b423"; // Global Action Unique Name

    //set the current loggedin userid in to _inputParameter of the 
    var InputParameterValue = formContext.context.getUserId();
 
    //Pass the input parameters of action
    var data = {
        "entityType" : "systemuser",
        "id": InputParameterValue
    };

    //Create the HttpRequestObject to send WEB API Request 
    var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
    //Post the WEB API Request 
    req.open("POST", serverURL + "/api/data/v9.1/" + actionName, true);
    req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
    req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
    req.setRequestHeader("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0");
    req.setRequestHeader("OData-Version", "4.0");

    req.onreadystatechange = function () {
        if (this.readyState == 4 /* complete */)
        {
            req.onreadystatechange = null;
           
            if (this.status == 200 || this.status == 204)
            {
                alert("Action Executed Successfully...");
                //You can get the output parameter of the action with name as given below
                result = JSON.parse(this.response);
                alert(result.Status);
               
            }
            else
            {
                var error = JSON.parse(this.response).error;
                alert("Error in Action: "+error.message);
            }
        }
    };
    //Execute request passing the input parameter of the action 
    req.send(window.JSON.stringify(data));
}

```

But this is throwing an error as in the ss -

    Hello,

    Have you had a look at this documentation?

    This describes how to call unbound actions using the Web API:
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/common-data-service/webapi/web-api-functions-actions-sample#bkmk_unboundActionWithParams
