Alternative way to get URL of a record

A bit of a long shot this one and I'm assuming that it's not possible.

But is there a way we can get the URL of a record without the GUID?

My scenario is that I'm creating record via a logic app from a third party populating it with data from the third party.

Once the record has been created that record in CRM needs to open instantaneously in a new window.

I can only think of firing back the GUID or URL back to the third party (via a logic app) as soon as the record is created and triggering it from there. But that has potential time issues.

If I can get the URL with the information I already have it might make it easier.

Has anyone got any ideas?

Thanks
Lee

So as long as we could generate a guid in the third party it will work?

Lee,

It has to be a Guid.

Thanks, that's very helpful.

Could the primary key field be populated with anything as long as it's unique?

The only way to reference the record is via the Guid. However, you can specify the Guid when you create the record (by explicitly populating the primary key field), rather than waiting for CRM to generate the Guid.

So, you could generate the Guid in advance, and therefore you'd know what the Url will be
