I have been tasked with creating a CRM 2011 online plugin that connects to a SharePoint online site. The plugin is to create new document sets after a certain action takes place in CRM.
I know that all plugins must be sand-boxed in CRM 2011 online. I’m not sure if this project is even feasible considering the limitations of the sandbox. I’m also not 100% sure if it is possible to create document sets using the SharePoint web service.
Has anyone done anything similar?
If I understand your situation correctly, then yes. It’s possible. When you create a plugin, you code in C# and you can call web services. In fact, tomorrow, I’ll be coding a call to an external web service to update some entity’s status so I better be right on this one.
Have you created plugins before?
