How to create OData action in D365FO and use it in Logic Apps

OData Action in D365FO and Using it in logic apps

Step 1: Create a OData action method in data entity as below and compile the code to see the method in logic app or postman.

With input parameter:

[SysODataActionAttribute("SalesOrderConfirm", false)] --If your method is Static then it should be false else True
public static void salesOrderConfirm(str    _salesId, DataAreaId _company)
{
    SalesTable      salesTable;
    SalesFormLetter salesFormLetter;

    salesTable = SalesTable::find(_salesId);

    salesFormLetter = SalesFormLetter::construct(DocumentStatus::Confirmation);
    salesFormLetter.update(salesTable, DateTimeUtil::getSystemDate(DateTimeUtil::getUserPreferredTimeZone()), SalesUpdate::All);
}

With List as Response:

[SysODataActionAttribute("GetSalesOrders", False),
SysODataCollectionAttribute("return", Types::Record, "SalesOrder")]
public static List GetSalesOrders(str custAccount, DataAreaId company)
{
  List returnList = new List(Types::Record);

  changecompany(company)
  {
     SalesTable  SalesTable;

     while select SalesTable
	where SalesTable.CustAccount == custAccount
    {
	returnList.addend(SalesTable);
    }
  }
  return returnList;
}

With input and ouput:

[SysODataActionAttribute("GetSalesStatus", False)]

public static str getStatus(str    salesId, DataAreaId company)
{
   str  status;
   changecompany (company)
   {
      status = enum2Str(SalesTable::find(salesId).SalesStatus);
   }
   return  status;
}

With Instance method(Action atrribute to True):

[SysODataActionAttribute("GetLineCount", true)]
public int GetLineCount()
{
  int  lineCount;
  changecompany (this.DataAreaID)
  {
     Salesline  salesline;
  
     select count(RecId) from salesline
  	where salesline.SalesId== this.SalesId;
  
     lineCount = salesline.RecId;
  }
  return  lineCount;
}

Step 2: Create a logic app to trigger the odata action method

                1. Search HTTP  and select When http request is received.

                2. Prepare JSON format your input values in my case Sales id, DataareaId.

                        {

                            "SalesId":"",

                            "Company":""

                        }

                3. Search fin & apps and select Execute action trigger.

•   Specify Instance,
•   Action(Your method Name. In this case SalesOrderConfirm) 
•  Set input parameters(SalesId, Company).

Logic App Flow:

 

Test the flow with LA and Postman:

 Create POST request in Postman :

•     For Non instance method output and URL

                POST: https://D365URL/data/MyEntity/Microsoft.Dynamics.DataEntities.SalesOrderConfirm

•    Instance method output and URL

                 POST: D365URL/data/SalesOrder(dataAreaId='USMF',SalesId='1235')/Microsoft.Dynamics.DataEntities.GetLineCount
