mscrm4ever: CRM 4.0 Running an On Demand Workflow from JavaScript

==============






Running a workflow from JavaScript is a great alternative to developing server side (web services) components. This is since the workflow designer is able to accomplish many programmable tasks without actually writing complex dot.net code. Implementing a simple JS framework that activates workflows is a great enhancement to any CRM project and can simplify many of your tasks.

The code integrates the notification (yellow ribbon) as a textual progress bar so the user can observe the progress of his actions.
The code also exposes a few properties that control the interval (in milliseconds) that checks the WF status, whether to refresh the page automatically or not and so forth.

The OnCrmPageLoad function below demonstrates the usage of the OnDemandWorkflow class. Paste the entire code in your onload event
and set the OnDemandWorkflow instance with the correct workflow id and properties.

Don’t forget to check your workflow as On Demand if you need to run them from code. You should also consider the logic that implements the client side call since user interaction can cause your workflow to run more then once.

Enjoy…
