Call workflow

While it’s not possible to call any workflow directly there is a simple workaround that involves using custom actions.

  1. Make sure that your workflow can be called As a child process.
  2. In your Dynamics 365 instance create a custom action for the (None) entity type, with one parameters, EntityReference of the same type as your workflow, e.g. account. Let’s say your action is new_myaction and the only step it has is calling your workflow:

  1. Add PHP code to call the custom action:
$ref = new \AlexaCRM\CRMToolkit\Entity\EntityReference( 'account', $accountid );
$request = [
  [
      'key' => 'TargetAccount',
      'type' => 'EntityReference',
      'value' => $ref
  ]
];
 
ASDK()->executeAction( 'new_MyAction', $request );
