I have a list in "SharePoint in Microsoft 365" and am looking to extend its usefulness. I would like to create a button or something that can take a row of data and send it to an external site via API (another tool that we have created).
To be clear:
SharePoint initiates a GET or POST request
the request must have row or field data attached
the destination is outside of Microsoft/SharePoint
Can it be done?
(Apologies if this is a repeat question, I could only find answers that pertained to older versions of SharePoint and focused on hitting external APIs to retrieve data, not send it.)
OK, i think the best choice to send Data from a selected row, is to use the ListView Command Set here you can do anything with #pnp/nodejs.
Otherwise...
PowerAutomate can help send data.

I've been using Netlify for storing 100% of my app (both frontend and backend) for the last three months. So far, so good.
The only problem now is that I need to store a custom property for each user (say, the phone number), and apparently Netlify Identity doesn't support this (only email, name and roles https://www.netlify.com/docs/identity/).
I don't want to change the whole app to migrate to another hosting provider just for this detail (actually, I can't, it's for a client and I just don't have time), because it works great, but at the same time I need it.
Can you think of any workaround to this? The less "hackish", the better, but I understand that I'm going beyond the intended use of Netlify Identity.
So it actually does look like Netlify's GoTrue API has a specific endpoint for updating custom user data. After a user is created, you can update metadata by including it as "data" within an authenticated PUT request to /user.
PUT /user
{
"data" {
"custom_key": "value",
}
}
See https://github.com/netlify/gotrue for more info.
There are dozens of ways to do this, so I'll talk about two generally applicable ways now:
the most "generally capable" one is probably using lambda functions: https://www.netlify.com/docs/functions . This lets you run dynamic code, such as "store to database hosted elsewhere" or "email to our office manager to update a spreadsheet" or even "commit to our closed git repo so it's available in-code" (last one is probably a worst practice, but is possible). You can similarly use a function to read that data back out without exposing API tokens (code example: https://github.com/netlify/code-examples/tree/master/function_examples/token-hider)
you could have the data gathered via a form submission (https://www.netlify.com/docs/form-handling). I'd probably use zapier.com to receive a notification of the form submission (https://www.netlify.com/docs/form-handling/#notifications). Zapier can of course connect to just about anything on the planet :) . Getting the data back out if you want to show it in your UI is a bit more of a challenge, but you could use the above mentioned functions if you need to connect to some private data store to pull it out. Or for an MVP, just not show it, only let people enter/update it ;)
tl;dr: How can one send a POST request in VBA by using an XMLHttpRequest within the Internet Explorer?
I'm about automating the use of page on the internet. The idea is to start from Excel to gather some data in a worksheet, then transfer these data to the internet page, click some buttons in the meantime, and thereafter work on manually.
I recorded the whole process when executed manually by the F12 Developer tools. By bringing the data into the textboxes of the internet page, some Javascript events take place which fire a POST request through XMLHttpRequest:
Now, by replicating the procedure described above in VBA (using getElementById, .click(),.value= and the like), it appears that the relevant events are not fired: no such POST request as shown above are sent to the server, and no additional masks open. This is why I wanted to omit the textbox-filling-and-clicking approach and simply replicate the POST request.
How can I do this from VBA by using the Internet Explorer?
Disclaimer: I'm aware how to send a POST request using MSXML2.serverXMLHTTP, which is described hundreds of times over the web. However, there it's always either-or: either use the Internet Explorer, or MSXML2.serverXMLHTTP. However, I need the request within the Internet Explorer.
These links looks promising |VB5| C# |
Navigate method, 4th argument |Another VB example using StrConv for byte array conversion|
It looks like you simply use the Navigate method and simply data packed into a byte array for the fourth argument. One of the above links is old but the newer link looks very similar so I think the interface has not changed much.
Do please post feedback.
I hoping to develop a simple database to store the results of OFAC searches in an Access database. The steps that I'm hoping to achieve follow:
Enter company name in Access form
Execute query (via clicking a button or otherwise)
Goto OFAC website (OFAC Website)
Enter Company name in Name Field
Execute a search by clicking Search button or hitting return.
Receive the result set and Store in Access table
Questions:
Can I accomplish these steps with Access
Are you aware of any resources (articles, Access add-ins, VBA Scripts) that can help me achieve these objectives
Thanks for your help
Yes, it's possible. OFAC provides access to data using web service API, which can be called using VBA. I didn't use VBA for accessing OFAC, but used with other web services. Search string "ofac list api" gives a lot of links, for instance here you can find code example for VB6, it's similar to VBA, may be useful.
I am building a Javascript Web application with a Domino back end, using the Domino DDS REST api to do POST, PUT, and GET operations against the database. I want to use Authors and Readers fields in documents to control which users can see which documents and to give users with Author access in the ACL the ability to edit documents they have created. When doing a POST of a new document (implemented by the save() method of a new Backbone model) is there a way to designate one or more fields as Readers or Authors?
Doing a GET on an existing document returns a JSON object with an attribute named '#authors' containing the names and roles in the Authors fields. Is this attribute read/write?
Can I populate #authors with the desired values before doing a POST to have these values control author access?
My colleague says the Domino REST api makes no provision for setting Authors and Readers fields, and that this functionality can only be done through Java servlets. Is this right?
I'm not familiar with the Domino DDS REST API, but from what I gather it is doubtfull that when POSTing a document, you get to chose the type of the fields. I suspect they all end up as text.
What you could do however is to link the action of your form to a Domino agent which, using the backend Java or LotusScript API, will be able to control precisely the final shape of your document, hereby allowing you to fully utilize the powerfull security model of Domino.
Nevertheless, keep in mind that at some point, your users will have to authenticate against the Domino Directory. Depending where your users originally log in, you may need to talk to your Domino administrator to sort out a Single Sing-On scheme linked to your other directory.
Alternatively, you could take advantage of the fact that Domino is also a web server and an application server : you can build your HTML form in there, starting with a Domino form (simple) or an xPage (a bit more complex).
You may want to have a look here.
Some would say that you could even build your whole application in Domino, as using it as a mere back-end data repository is akin to using a Rolls-Royce to ferry potatoes, but I suppose that you and your organization have good reasons to do so.
Finally you could also completely ditch Domino and use another nosql database like MongoDB, but that would only displace your access control problem.
You can post data back to Domino and nominate a form to use. If you use the 'computewithform=true' parameter and the form design includes the authors/reader fields you need, this will set the field flags correctly and automatically.
I have been able so far to create a new civi Mailing object and populate it, but confusingly I can't see a parameter in that to specify the mail destination group.
For context, I am dealing with Civi using pure REST api from a remote server. I have a solution to getting a custom template onto the server; the new problem is setting a schedule and delivery group, and initiating the send. I am using the python-civicrm library from github as the intermediary on the client.
I presume send happens as a result of setting the schedule -- i.e. I don't need an API call to say 'send mailing'? Is setting 'sheduled date' == 'now' safe or should I set a date of 'now + 1min' or similar?
So that leaves setting the delivery group. We already have groups defined in the DB, and I want to specify the group by name (and preferably be able to verify in advance that a group name is a valid destination, perhaps by doing a group name -> id lookup).
I think there might be a parameter to Mailing create 'groups' which can have keys 'include' and 'exclude'; at least, that's what the web form seems to do. However it's not mentioned in the REST api implementation.
Can anyone offer pointers?
I think you will find all you need in the following link :
Example of api call that is using the group include/exclude : https://gist.github.com/xurizaemon/6775471
Discussion about implementing mailing as an api - http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=24075.0
Otherwise, if it doesn't work, i suggest that you :
help adding this api in the CiviCRM Core - you could have some help on this on irc #civicrm (and have a look at https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-11023)
OR create an extension with the api you need. It will be automatically available for REST. If you haven't created an extension yet, i suggest you go to the page http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Create+a+Module+Extension. It's quite straightforward with civix installed.
The table you need to check in the database is civicrm_mailing_group
To confirm, the problem was that (a) I needed to use groups[include]=array(ids) as mentioned by samuelsov, but also (b) I needed to use the json={...} form of request through REST, because the HTTP params syntax doesn't support nested data.
