Trigger a plugin on page reload in crm dynamics 365

Posted on by Community Member

I have an implemented plugin developed in visual studio (we are not using plugin registration tool crm 2016). I want to trigger this plugin on page reload. To explain this plugin is fully developped, it loads the contact information to a form onload event. The idea is that if the user modifies the contact inforation in the form contact, he should be able to reload the form which will execute the plugin.

How can i do this ?

Thank you!

This is the actual plugin which is executed on creation:

AddStep(Stages.PreOperation, Messages.Update, Modes.Synchronous, DlcocontractorDefinition.EntityName, nameof(CompleteCoContractorInformation));
        AddStep(Stages.PostOperation, Messages.Update, Modes.Synchronous, DlcocontractorDefinition.EntityName, nameof(AssociateCoContractorAddresses));
        AddStep(Stages.PostOperation, Messages.Update, Modes.Synchronous, DlcocontractorDefinition.EntityName, nameof(AssociateCoContractorNationalities));

Hi,

the only way you can trigger a plugin is by sending some data to the server, so you will need to save that record, so do just that.. save it.. You might use javascript for that (see "save" at the link below):

msdn.microsoft.com/.../dn481607.aspx

Or, if that's not what you want, then you probably need to convert that plugin to a custom action and call it from javascript:

Hi,

the problem is that the line below does not make sense for the plugins:

"it loads the contact information to a form onload event."

And, subsequently, this does not make sense either:

"he should be able to reload the form which will execute the plugin."

Plugins don't run in form onload - that's only applicable to javascripts. They run "on update"/"on create"/"on delete"/"on retrieve".. and there are other messages.. but all are server-side (have nothing to do with the forms)

If you want the plugin to run on the update of the record, you just need to register it on the update message.

What exactly is your plugins support to do?

You might be able to use a Retrieve Plugin to get the results that you are looking for?

The plugin loads the conatact information when the page is loaded (when creating new record), I am thinking about adding a button which saves the form and execute the plugiin on update. How I can do this ?

The plugin loads contact information like name, full name ...

I should trigger the plugin to reload the information to the form if the user updates the contact information in the form contact, like changing user name ..

As Alex mentioned above, there are the following options.

If you want to use the Save button functionality to call the plugin, you can use it on the Create or Update messages.

If you only need this for new records, then all you need is the create message.

You can add your own validation if needed before saving to make sure that the user entered all the information.

If you need to call a Plugin On Demand, without performing any particular Save action, you must do this by creating Actions.

Hope this helps.

This is for an entity, that has some sort of connection to the Contact entity, so you want the Contact information to reload in case that information was updated in the Contact entity?

Is that the case?

Assume you have Contact and Case entity. And you have relationship between contact and case entity.

If user update contact information on one of contact record then all the related case's should be update with latest contact information? Is this your requirement?
