Requesting Data from CRM and importing it to update with new values

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Hello,

I'm inquiring how I can accomplish the following:

We are using Dynamics 365 CRM online. To build out our costs and labor, we use an external application. This application has a Web API enabled for read/write.

1.Export Data (get request) to the external application

2. Import Data with new and updated values (needs to update certain fields) back into CRM

I'm not a Developer, just did a bit of research. I have a couple of people that are programmers/developers in Py, json etc that can help but they do not know anything about CRM. 

How can i get this accomplished? TIA!!

I have the same question (0)

    Hi,

    Thank you for your query.

    You can use following approaches:

    • No Code Solution:
      • Export data: use Microsoft Flow to integrate Dynamics 365 Online with your Custom Web App. Flow can be triggered on an event like when a record is created, updated or deleted and it can push the data to your web app using API.
      • Import Data: schedule flows to read data form your web app to update Dynamics 365 tables (entities).
    • Web API: Dynamics 365 comes with a Web API (OData), which can be used to do CRUD operations. Your developers, can easily use this API to read and insert/update data in Dynamics 365.

    Flow Common Data Service (Dynamics 365) connector:
