Posted on by Ashish Moradiya 515

Hello,

I have placed custom button on Form using web resource. I want to invoke plugin logic (c# code) when user clicks the button on form.

is it possible to do so?

Regards,

Ashish

    Hi Ashish,

    There are two ways.

    1.  You could try using a dummy entity and create a record of the same using javascript. Register the plugin on the post-creation of the dummy entity record. See: scaleablesolutions.com/crud-operations-using-microsoft-dynamic-crm-web-api/
    2. You could also try creating an action and call the action using javascript. Note that actions can be called in javascript using Web API or Process.CallAction() method in process.js library or SoapLogger.Register the plugin message as the name of the action. See the links below.

    See the community thread below.

    Hope this helps.

    You can't invoke a plugin - you can do it with a workflow/customaction.. as for the plugin, you can invoke it "indirectly" (although, there is, probably, no need to do so given you have those other options) - put a hidden field on the form, add it as a trigger for the plugin step, then use javascript to update that field and save the changes.

    Hello,

    I would suggest you to use WebApi to call it:

    Hi

    You can invoke an Action which would trigger a plugin.
