Hello people!

I have an issue regarding integration with MSCRM 4.0!

Scenario:

One custom entity, with two workflow rules, and a company website extension witch should create records on the same custom entity.

My question is! Is it possible tho create the record using SDK or MSCRM web services to create a record(On my custom entity)!?
And more important... When creating this record! is there anyway to execute my bussiness rules associated with those workflos that are already created in CRM!?

i think i the first one is easy and i think i'm able to acomplishe! but executing the workflows associated with that entity is the most important part of the process.

any help on how to aboard this is very apretiated!

kind regards,
Mário Moreira

Mário,

To answer your questions, yes to both. First, you should always use the CRM web services to do CRUD (Create, Retrieve, Update, Delete) operations. By using this, all of your operations will run through CRM's platform where plug-ins and workflows will fire. Here is a link to the CRM Sdk describing the execution pipeline: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc151078.aspx

To learn how to write code against CRM's API, I would recommend downloading the CRM Sdk and looking at the walkthroughs and code samples. They are very thorough and should help get you started.
