I encountered the following code which solves my problem but I do not know how to call it in the Dynamics 365 system. I registered it using Plugin Deployer. However, I cannot see it in the steps section.
 public class ReadAnnotation : IPlugin
 {
 public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
 {
 IPluginExecutionContext context = (IPluginExecutionContext)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));
 IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));
 IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);
 ...
}
}

I should add that in the Plugin Deployer the plugin is named (Plugin) Name - Isolatable whereas other plugins that we develop are named (Workflow activity) Name - Isolatable.

Can you please tell me what you are trying to achieve with the plugin. Did you register your plugin using plugin registration tool? If not then you should register your plugin first in which event (messages like create , update etc ) you want to register your plugin -

docs.microsoft.com/.../tutorial-write-plug-in

Once you register your plugin you need to trigger the same event , let say create record or update record using javascript , your plugin will automatically trigger.

I registered the plugin using the plugin registration tool. However, in the tool it is written that I registered a plugin not a workflow activity. And when I create a workflow in the CRM I cannot seem to find the plugin in the steps.

HI

Did you added strong name key to your plugin project? if not then please add it.

Refer steps below:

1.In Solution Explorer, open the shortcut menu for the project, and then choose Properties.

2.Choose the Signing tab.

3.Select the Sign the assembly box.

4.In the Choose a strong name key file box, choose <Browse…>, and then navigate to the key file. To create a new key file, choose <New…> and enter its name in the Create Strong Name Key dialog box.

Hi,

You cannot use a plugin in workflows, we need to create workflow activity by inheriting "CodeActivity". see the sample workflow code - docs.microsoft.com/.../sample-create-custom-workflow-activity

after that register your workflow same as plugin then you must be able to see the step under your arm workflow.

Plugins will not available as workflow steps. Please create a workflow code activity and register it using plugin registration tool. Then you can use it on workflow steps.
