Run Web Service Workflow Block

The Run Web Service workflow block creates a quick action that runs a web service.

Use the Run Web Service workflow block to assemble the details needed to call an external web service such as cost service, data access, or notification. This involves defining the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) document, service and method to use, and then specifying the parameters.

Parameters are mapped either from a business object field or a constant value.

A quick action used to obtain information from a web service is often used in conjunction with an Update Record quick action. You also can use it in conjunction with a business rule to calculate a parameter, then use it in a process.

When defining this block for a cost service, you can first use the $(ServerURL()) expression to obtain the tenant URL, which can then be used as part of the URL for accessing the cost web service: $(ServerURL() + '/Services/CostService.asmx?wsdl').
