Calling an External Rest Service from Workflow/Plugin
Author: Vimal Selvaraj
In this blog, I am providing an example code snippet of how we can make a request to a web service outside of the CRM domain from a workflow or plugin.
Scenario
Agents need to capture the property information on when Account is created/updated in CRM. In order to do so, we decide to follow the below steps,
- Process configuration on Account creation/Update
- Custom Workflow Activity
- Call Web Service from workflow
Process Configuration on Account creation/Update:
- Login into Dynamics CRM Web Client.
- Go to Setting and Customization or create a solution
- Navigate to Process and create a workflow
