Calling a Custom Action

Posted on by 8

Is it possible to call a custom action from the PCF control? Execute function shows in the WebAPI object  but when we call a custom action an error message is thrown saying that Execute is undefined. 

I have the same question (0)

    	private async callAction(product:string): Promise<any>{
    		var id=	Xrm.Utility.getGlobalContext();
    	
    		var parameters = {
    			ProductName : product
    		};
    		var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
    		
    		return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
    			req.open("POST", id.getClientUrl() + "/api/data/v9.0/actionName", true);			
    			req.onreadystatechange = function () {
    				if (req.readyState !== 4) return;
    				if (req.status >= 200 && req.status < 300) {				
    					// If successful
    					try {
    						var result=JSON.parse(req.response);
    						if (parseInt(result.StatusCode)<0){
    							reject({
    								status: result.StatusCode,
    								statusText: result.StatusMessage
    							});
    						}						
    						resolve(req.response);
    					}
    					catch (error){
    						throw error;
    					}
    					
    				} else {
    					// If failed
    					reject({
    						status: req.status,
    						statusText: req.statusText
    					});
    				}
    	
    			};
    			req.setRequestHeader("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0");
    			req.setRequestHeader("OData-Version", "4.0");
    			req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
    			req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
    			req.send(JSON.stringify(parameters));
    		});	
    	}

    Is the code we use for checking if the user's licence is valid - it uses a promise that returns resolve or reject as appropriate (and we actually only care about rejects here).
