This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to create a new HTTP Method as a part of the Lasernet Connector configuration within Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement.
Note
The HTTP Method is a link between Customer Engagement and either Finance and Operations or a logic app. This link is needed to activate a report generation within FO or a logic app.
Sign in to your Customer Engagement system.
On the Sales menu, click the drop-down menu to open the navigation menu flyout, and then under the Settings flyout, click HTTP Methods in the Lasernet list.
The Active Lasernet HTTP Methods page is displayed.
On the Active Lasernet HTTP Methods page, click the NEW button.
Fill in all the fields as required, and then click the Save icon.
The following table outlines details about fields and possible values to be entered on the General section of the page for creating a new Lasernet HTTP Method record:
Name | Description |
|---|---|
Name (required) | A descriptive name of the HTTP Method record you create. |
Button text | The name of the button that is shown on the flyout menu. |
Pass-through data | A name defined for a definite type of action. It becomes then available and shown as raw output data in the logic app run history in the Azure portal when an HTTP request is received. |
Multi select (required) | Available values: Yes and No. Yes enables a possibility to select multiple entities. No is selected by default. |
HTTP URL (required) | The URL of the definite logic app. The URL is to be copied from the HTTP POST URL text box of the When an HTTP request is received block available in the Logic app designer in the Azure portal. |
HTTP method (required) | It is POST meaning that data is sent. |
Response action (required) | Available values: Open and None. None enables just sending data to Lasernet or a logic app. In that case, no preview is available because a connection is closed after sending the data. Open enables getting a response (PDF or status code message). |
Data-in-body (required) | Available values: Yes and No. Yes enables presenting data in the response message body or as a query string (Request URL). No disables presenting data in the response message body or as a query string (Request URL). |
Display errors (required) | Available values: Yes and No. Yes enables displaying a received error message. No disables displaying a received error message. |
Success message | The text of the message shown for use when the action succeeds. |
No response success message | The text of the message shown for use when a Response action is specified as Open, the action itself succeeds, and the response is empty. |
Failure message | The text of the message shown for use when the action fails. |
Show progress indicator | Available values: Yes and No. Yes enables showing a progress indicator. No disables showing a progress indicator. |
Image 16 | An image shown for the button on the flyout menu. |
Image 32 | An image shown for the button on the flyout menu. |
Modern image | An image shown for the button on the flyout menu (available for a new modern UI of the Customer Engagement environment). |
Owner (required) | A user ID who owns the record that is being created. |
As a result, a new HTTP method is listed on the Active Lasernet HTTP Methods page:
In the Active Lasernet HTTP Methods list, click a record of the HTTP method you have just added.
The HTTP Method page opens for editing.
In the Lasernet Groups/HTTP Methods (HTTP Method) section, click the plus icon to add a group/HTTP Method record.
In the dialog displayed, enter a name in the corresponding text box as well as select a group and then click the Save icon to save changes.
In addition, you can add a new HTTP Method record when adding a new group or editing the existing one. To this end, see step 11 in the Add a New Button to a New Flyout article.
