Today I will share sample code that shows how to update data from a Node.js application using the Web API. ####Updating a single property To update a single property on a record in Dynamics 365, you can make a PUT request to the Web API.https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2016/11/25/scheduling-dynamics-365-workflows-with-azure-functions/Fri, 25 Nov 2016 17:00:03 +0000https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2016/11/25/scheduling-dynamics-365-workflows-with-azure-functions/Earlier this week I showed an easy way to integrate a Node.js application with Dynamics 365 using the Web API. Building on that example, I have created a scheduled workflow runner using Node.js and Azure Functions. Here’s how I did it. First, I created a workflow in Dynamics 365 that creates a note on an account record.https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2016/11/23/dynamics-365-and-node-js-integration-using-the-web-api/Wed, 23 Nov 2016 16:17:09 +0000https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2016/11/23/dynamics-365-and-node-js-integration-using-the-web-api/I wrote a blog post in early 2015 that showed how to access the Dynamics CRM organization data service from a Node.js application. Today I will show an easy way to retrieve data from a Dynamics 365 Online organization in a Node.js application using the Web API. Unlike the CRM organization service, the Dynamics 365 Web API does not allow you to authenticate directly with a user name and password.https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2016/01/18/dynamics-crm-and-the-internet-of-things-part-5/Mon, 18 Jan 2016 22:17:57 +0000https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2016/01/18/dynamics-crm-and-the-internet-of-things-part-5/This is the fifth and final post in a five-part series on how I integrated a Raspberry Pi with Microsoft Dynamics CRM to recognize contacts using automobile license plates.

In part 3 and part 4 I showed two approaches for building a Dynamics CRM plug-in that publishes notification messages to a RabbitMQ exchange. In today’s post I will show how to create a Windows console application that reads messages from a queue and writes the data to Dynamics CRM.https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2015/01/24/authenticating-from-a-node-js-client-to-dynamics-crm-via-ad-fs-and-oauth2/Sat, 24 Jan 2015 00:00:00 +0000https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2015/01/24/authenticating-from-a-node-js-client-to-dynamics-crm-via-ad-fs-and-oauth2/Last week I decided to finally take a look at using OAuth2 as an authentication protocol with Dynamics CRM. I wanted to understand how it could enable non-Windows clients to consume CRM data. As it turns out, I was unable to find any documentation or comprehensive code samples for non-Windows clients, so I put together my own Node.https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2015/01/22/using-rabbitmq-as-a-message-broker-in-dynamics-crm-data-interfaces-part-4/Thu, 22 Jan 2015 18:00:00 +0000https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2015/01/22/using-rabbitmq-as-a-message-broker-in-dynamics-crm-data-interfaces-part-4/Welcome back to my five-part series on creating loosely coupled data interfaces for Dynamics CRM using RabbitMQ. In my last post I showed how to build a Dynamics CRM plug-in that publishes notification messages to a RabbitMQ exchange using the official RabbitMQ .Net client library. Unfortunately, that plug-in can’t successfully communicate with a RabbitMQ server if it’s executed inside the Dynamics CRM sandbox, so in today’s post I will show how to achieve the same results with a sandboxed plug-in.https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2015/01/20/using-rabbitmq-as-a-message-broker-in-dynamics-crm-data-interfaces-part-3/Tue, 20 Jan 2015 18:00:00 +0000https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2015/01/20/using-rabbitmq-as-a-message-broker-in-dynamics-crm-data-interfaces-part-3/This is the third post of a five-part series on creating loosely coupled data interfaces for Dynamics CRM using RabbitMQ. Last time I showed how to install and configure a RabbitMQ server to support passing messages to and from Dynamics CRM. Today I will show how to build a Dynamics CRM plug-in that publishes notification messages to a RabbitMQ exchange using the official RabbitMQ .https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2015/01/14/using-rabbitmq-as-a-message-broker-in-dynamics-crm-data-interfaces-part-2/Wed, 14 Jan 2015 18:00:00 +0000https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2015/01/14/using-rabbitmq-as-a-message-broker-in-dynamics-crm-data-interfaces-part-2/Welcome back to this five-part series on creating loosely coupled data interfaces for Dynamics CRM using RabbitMQ. In my last post I discussed why you would want to incorporate a message broker into your Dynamics CRM data interfaces, and today I will show how to install and configure RabbitMQ to support the examples I’ll be presenting in the rest of the series.https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2015/01/12/using-rabbitmq-as-a-message-broker-in-dynamics-crm-data-interfaces-part-1/Mon, 12 Jan 2015 18:00:00 +0000https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2015/01/12/using-rabbitmq-as-a-message-broker-in-dynamics-crm-data-interfaces-part-1/One of the things I love about Dynamics CRM is how easy it is to create data interfaces to enable integration with other systems. If you’ve worked with Dynamics CRM for any length of time, you’ve probably seen multiple web service integrations that enable interoperability with other line-of-business and legacy systems.https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2014/12/11/creating-a-near-real-time-streaming-interface-for-dynamics-crm-with-node-js-part-4/Thu, 11 Dec 2014 18:00:00 +0000https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2014/12/11/creating-a-near-real-time-streaming-interface-for-dynamics-crm-with-node-js-part-4/This is the final post in my four-part series about creating a near real-time streaming interface for Microsoft Dynamics CRM using Node.js and Socket.IO.
