Web Sockets and Dynamics CRM

Posted on by Shidin Haridas 3,499

I have an external system which has a WebHook subscribe with Dynamics CRM, so when the external system changes, it immediately sends a web-hook which does some CRM operations (update a record or something).

Now that the server side details have changed, is it possible to push these changes to the client level (UI), without a refresh?

I am looking for something like a duplex communication, like WebSockets?

Is this possible? Are there any samples or discussions around the same?

All thoughts appreciated!

TIA!

    Hello,

    As a workaround you can write JavaScript that will check modifiedon field value of record and if it is changed snce previous check - you can refresh form value with actual values. This is the only workaround I see.

    No duplex communication exists, as Andrew suggests.

    Have to do the classic timer function which checks if the modifiedon field has changed and then refreshes the details. Not a duplex communication.

    On the point of WebHooks and Dynamics CRM, DCRM can make Web Hook requests out, but cannot accept Web Hook requests.

    Will have to leverage a service such as an Azure function with a Web Hook binding in the middle where the external application makes a request to the function and the function makes a request to CRM.

    Closing this thread.
