Remarks

Message Availability

For this message to work, the caller must be connected to the server.

Usage

Pass an instance of this class to the Execute method, which returns an instance of ExecuteWorkflowResponse.

Privileges and Access Rights

To perform this action, the caller must have privileges on the Workflow entity and access rights on the record specified in the EntityId and WorkflowId properties. For a complete list of the privileges required, see ExecuteWorkflow message privileges.

Examples

The following example shows how to use this message. For this sample to work correctly, you must be connected to the server to get an IOrganizationService interface. For the complete sample, see the link later in this topic.


// Create an ExecuteWorkflow request.
ExecuteWorkflowRequest request = new ExecuteWorkflowRequest()
{
    WorkflowId = _workflowId,
    EntityId = _leadId
};
Console.Write("Created ExecuteWorkflow request, ");

// Execute the workflow.
ExecuteWorkflowResponse response =
    (ExecuteWorkflowResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute(request);
Console.WriteLine("and sent request to service.");


' Create an ExecuteWorkflow request.
Dim request As New ExecuteWorkflowRequest() With
    {
        .WorkflowId = _workflowId,
        .EntityId = _leadId
    }
Console.Write("Created ExecuteWorkflow request, ")

' Execute the workflow.
Dim response As ExecuteWorkflowResponse =
    CType(_serviceProxy.Execute(request), ExecuteWorkflowResponse)
Console.WriteLine("and sent request to service.")
