Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recently, we had a requirement where we wanted to Execute Custom Action in Dynamics CRM by passing \u201cEntityCollection\u201d type parameter using Web API. We have discussed how to execute the action using Web API in one of our earlier blog<\/a>. However, in this blog we just explained executing action with string parameter.<\/p>\n

Here we are going to focus on executing action with \u201cEntityCollection\u201d parameter using Web API.<\/p>\n

You can see below that we have created a Custom Action:<\/p>\n

Below code snippet will help you to Execute Action using Web API:<\/strong><\/p>\n
