Are there are plans to add a Reader and Writer for Dynamics CRM Online, similar to the ones for Salesforce?

Hi @steveculshaw

Yes, this already exists as an enhancement request, although we don't have a target date set so it isn't an immediate priority. I will add your contact details to the request and increase the 'customer impact' field.

I also suggest registering this as an "idea" in this knowledge centre. That way other users are able to vote on this functionality if they too would find it important.

I think - technically speaking - you/we could read directly from the underlying database using JDBC, but I think we'd ultimately implement a reader/writer through their API to ensure proper results. Incidentally, as you most interested in reading or writing - or both equally?

Regards

Mark

Mark,

at this time, it'd be just reading from CRM Online, but in the not too distant future, it'd be writing into CRM

I'd be surprised if you can get at the underlying database through JDBC ... direct access using the usual isn't possible, we have to go through the old style SOAP web services, or the new REST WebAPI ones

How do I register as an idea?
