Calling a Workflow from JavaScript with no Parameters

Posted on by IAmGreg

Hi,

I have a workflow that takes no parameters that is triggered from the a main entity (let's call it "entityfoo").

When you got to the main page for "entityfoo" - I have a button that I want people to be able to click that calls an async workflow that goes off and populates records into "entityfoo".

This workflow is not tied to a specific entity record, it simply populates the list.

How can I call this workflow in D365? I vaguely remember doing this before using the "Run Workflow" command in the non-unified interface but this doesn't seem possible now.

Is this possible and if not how do I trigger a workflow in this manner?

(It doesn't have to be a button or javascript, happy with whatever can work).

Thank you - Greg.

If you are looking for "Run Workflow", it has been moved under the Flows which appears when you select an existing record. Refer below screenshot-

It is mandatory to pass record id to trigger workflow. This id must be a GUID of an entity record you had selected while creating your workflow.

Since the functionality of this workflow is to create records, you can convert the records creation logic from workflow to javascript so that, upon button click, javascript will directly create the records without triggering workflow.

But this requires an entity id to be present.

In my case, there are no entity records populate, my workflow populates the records.

I've tried modifying these code snippets without entity id and they all generate errors.

My workflow does not require any input parameters.

Hi Greg,

Check below link to trigger workflow from javascript. When the button is clicked, you should be able to get all the selected record IDs and loop through each IDs to trigger workflow.
