Trigger JavaScript on Business Process Flow Buttons in MSCRM or Dataverse

 ​Implementation Steps:

 

1. Navigate to https://make.powerapps.com

 

2. Click On Solutions

 

3. Create a New Solution

 

4. Create a New JavaScript (in my case its Opportunity.js)

 

5. Copy Paste the Below Code for your JavaScript

 

function onLoad(e) {
    var bpf = e.getFormContext();
    bpf.data.process.addOnPreStageChange(handlePreStage);
};

function handlePreStage(e) {
    var bpf = e.getEventArgs(), entityName = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getEntityName()

    if (bpf.getDirection() === "Previous") {

        bpf.preventDefault();

        var alertStrings = { confirmButtonLabel: "OK", text: "You have Clicked Previous button"};
        var alertOptions = { height: 150, width: 260 };

        Xrm.Navigation.openAlertDialog(alertStrings, alertOptions);

        return;
    }
    if (bpf.getDirection() === "Next") {

        bpf.preventDefault();

        var alertStrings = { confirmButtonLabel: "OK", text: "You have Clicked Next button"};

        var alertOptions = { height: 150, width: 260 };

        Xrm.Navigation.openAlertDialog(alertStrings, alertOptions);

        return;

    }
}

 

6. Now Open Opportunity Table --> Opportunity Form and add an ONLOAD EVENT

 

 

7. Once Done --> Save and Publish

 

 

8. Now Open Opportunity Table --> Open a Record

 

9. Click Business Process Flow --> Click Next

 

 

 

10. Again Click on Business Process Flow --> Click Back Button

 

 

 

That's it :)

How to Set Required and Optional attendees using MSCRM or Dataverse Plugins

Introduction:

In this blog we will see how to Set Required and Optional attendees using MSCRM or Dataverse Plugins

Implementation Steps:

1. Create a Project in VS

2. Create a .cs file and name it as appointment.cs

public class Appointment
{  
    public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceprovider)
    {

        IPluginExecutionContext executionContext = (IPluginExecutionContext)iServiceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));

        IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)iServiceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));

        IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(executionContext.UserId); 
     }
}

4. if the entity is appointment then do the following code

Entity entity = (Entity)executionContext.InputParameters["Target"];

5. Create a Party list

ActivityParty party = new ActivityParty
{
PartyId = new EntityReference("systemuser", new Guid("GUID"))
};

6. Update the Required and Optional attendees 

Entity appointment = new Appointment
{
Subject = "Sample Appointment",
RequiredAttendees = new ActivityParty[] { party },
OptionalAttendees = new ActivityParty[] { party }
};

7. Now Update the Appointment

service.Update(appointment);

That's it :)
