Calling a plugin from Web API

Posted on by MBaba

Hello,

I hope someone could help me.

I made a plugin that creates a new employee from an applicant with all other records related in other tables. I also have a lookup field that is filled with the employee when s/he is created (field logical name is new_employee). I need to direct the user the record of the employee when it is created through the plugin code Ì have already.

I know that I am not able to redirect the user from the plugin since it operates on the server side, so I am thinking if I am able to call a Web API from the plugin to direct the user to the page when the plugin executes. Is it achievable?

I do not want to use the approach of onSave for Web API to check if the field is null or not and direct the user.

I want to see if it is achievable using a plugin.

Thank you!

RE: Calling a plugin from Web API

Hello,

You can create an action/custom api, put your code to handle the message of action/custom api, get the response from it an do whatever you need on the client side.
