In Dynamics 365, you may want to call a workflow directly from JavaScript. This can be achieved using the WebAPI.
Let’s say we have a workflow as follows, that creates a task on the account:
For the sake of the demo, we will hardcode the Workflow Id and Account Id.
Copy the Workflow Id from the URL:
Now create an account:
Get the Id of the account:
Now the code. Note we are calling Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.ExecuteWorkflow:
"EntityId" : "D82A5713-3C39-E811-A952-000D3A36478D" |
var WorkflowId = "4E79CE7A-BB73-409D-9F6A-7FCBB49FFD94" ; |
var req = new XMLHttpRequest(); |
req.open( "POST" , Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/api/data/v9.0/workflows(" + WorkflowId + ")/Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.ExecuteWorkflow" , true ); |
req.setRequestHeader( "OData-MaxVersion" , "4.0" ); |
req.setRequestHeader( "OData-Version" , "4.0" ); |
req.setRequestHeader( "Accept" , "application/json" ); |
req.setRequestHeader( "Content-Type" , "application/json; charset=utf-8" ); |
req.onreadystatechange = function () { |
if ( this .readyState === 4) { |
req.onreadystatechange = null ; |
if ( this .status === 200) { |
Xrm.Utility.alertDialog( "Success" ); |
Xrm.Utility.alertDialog( this .statusText); |
req.send(JSON.stringify(entity)); |
Running this, we get:
