Calling Global Actions through Plugin in Dynamics CRM

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Nagaraj M 161

Hi team,

 I have created a global action with one input and one output parameter and based on the input value i am assigning some value to the Out parameter in the Action itself .

Now i want to call this global action through plugin and want to pass input parameter through plugin and need to get the output value from action.

how i can achieve this , i have never called an action through plugin earlier.

In primary entity i am only getting none to select so when this will get trigger in CRM do i need to send a request to execute through plugin to trigger this action?

So need some suggestions on this.

Thanks Inadvance

    You can set Output parameters only in post-execution plugins.

    Can you send a screenshot of your action?

    Thanks Michel for reply,

    I have one doubt i.e, even i am setting output parameter through action , still can i be able to set or override output parameter through plugin code by registering that plugin on custom action.

    if so how we can achieve this?

    in above example you are setting target also so is it output parameter in action or else what does mean by it

    req["Target"] = new EntityReference("new_enquiry", enquiryObj.Id);

    Here's an example:

    // Calling the Action - new_EnquiryCreateProject

    OrganizationRequest req = new OrganizationRequest("new_EnquiryCreateProject");

    //parameter:

    req["ProjectName"] = "This is a test operation for using Actions in CRM 2013 ";

    req["Target"] = new EntityReference("new_enquiry", enquiryObj.Id);

    //execute the request

    OrganizationResponse response = service.Execute(req);
