Hi,

Can someone give a real time example with the sample code for "how to use Action in java script" and "how to use Action in plugin" ? If possible just inbox me in the email id rath.amit86@gmail.com.

Thanks

    Hi Amit,

    I have done this type of work in past, we had the requirement of sending account to other portal on the custom button click on account.

    Step 1) Add the Custom button on Your entity form (In my case it was account)

    Step 2) Create a Action (action name = new_sendAccounttoPortal)

    Step 3) Write a java script code for calling action from it.

    Step 4) New message will be create in the plugin registration tool with the name "new_sendAccounttoPortal". with the help of this you can call plugin and do your job.

    Give me some time i will provide code also.

    Thanks,

    Shahbaaz

    Hi Amit, Below is my javascript code, this you can call from the custom button click on the form using Ribbon workbench. This will call your action which will trigger plugin

    function CallActionFromJavaScript() { 

    var accountId = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();
    var entityName = "account";
    var requestName = "new_customaction";
    var appnumber = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get('new_leapcasenumber').getValue();
    var new_crmcustomerid = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get('new_crmcustomerid').getValue();
    if(new_crmcustomerid == null){
    alert("Save record before sending to Portal?");
    } else if(appnumber != null){
    if(appnumber.trim().length == 4)
    alert("This account has already been sent to portal.");
    }
    else
    ExecuteAction(accountId, entityName, requestName);
    }
    function ExecuteAction(entityId, entityName, requestName) {
    // Creating the request XML for calling the Action
    var requestXML = ""
    requestXML += "<s:Envelope xmlns:s=\"schemas.xmlsoap.org/.../envelope\">";
    requestXML += " <s:Body>";
    requestXML += " <Execute xmlns=\"schemas.microsoft.com/.../Services\" xmlns:i=\"www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema-instance\">";
    requestXML += " <request xmlns:a=\"schemas.microsoft.com/.../Contracts\">";
    requestXML += " <a:Parameters xmlns:b=\"schemas.datacontract.org/.../System.Collections.Generic\">";
    requestXML += " <a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>";
    requestXML += " <b:key>Target</b:key>";
    requestXML += " <b:value i:type=\"a:EntityReference\">";
    requestXML += " <a:Id>" + entityId + "</a:Id>";
    requestXML += " <a:LogicalName>" + entityName + "</a:LogicalName>";
    requestXML += " <a:Name i:nil=\"true\" />";
    requestXML += " </b:value>";
    requestXML += " </a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>";
    requestXML += " </a:Parameters>";
    requestXML += " <a:RequestId i:nil=\"true\" />";
    requestXML += " <a:RequestName>" + requestName + "</a:RequestName>";
    requestXML += " </request>";
    requestXML += " </Execute>";
    requestXML += " </s:Body>";
    requestXML += "</s:Envelope>";
    var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
    req.open("POST", Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc/web", false);
    req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/xml, text/xml, */*");
    req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8");
    req.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "schemas.microsoft.com/.../Execute");
    req.send(requestXML);
    //Get the Resonse from the CRM Execute method
    var response = req.responseXML;
    alert("Customer has been sent to your portal. Please login to portal and complete the form.");
    }
