  • 0

I would like to have a workflow create a task, then email the assigned user that they have a new task and include a link to the newly created task in the body of the email. I have client side code that will correctly create the edit URL, using the entities GUID and stores it in a custom attribute. However, when the task is created from within a workflow, the client script isn’t run.

So, I think a plug-in should work, but I can’t figure out how to determine the URL of the CRM installation. I’m authoring this in a test environment and definitely don’t want to have to change things when I move to production. I’m sure I could use a config file, but seems like the plug-in should be able to figure this out at runtime.

Anyone have any ideas how to access the URL of the crm service from within a plug-in? Any other ideas?

    There is no simple way to do this. However, there is one.

    The MSCRM_Config is the deployment database that handle physical deployment properties, like the URL from which users are accessing the CRM deployment. The url that you might want is the one stored in “ADWebApplicationRootDomain”, in the MSCRM_CONFIG.dbo.DeploymentProperties table. You may need some permission to access this database.

    Note that this doesn’t work in a deployment that is an Internet Facing Deployment.

    Another way could be to query the discovery service to retrieve the same information (in the case that you are on the Online edition of MSCRM4).
