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 instance. For the complete sample, see the link later in this topic. 

/// <summary>
/// Demonstrates how to create a workflow record from a workflow template
/// </summary>
/// <param name="service">The authenticated IOrganizationService instance.</param>
/// <param name="processTemplateId">The ID of the template workflow</param>
static void CreateWorkflowFromTemplate(IOrganizationService service, Guid processTemplateId)
{
      CreateWorkflowFromTemplateRequest request = new ()
      {
         WorkflowName = "Workflow From Template",
         WorkflowTemplateId = processTemplateId
      };

      // Execute request.
      var response = (CreateWorkflowFromTemplateResponse)service.Execute(request);

      // Verify success.
      // Retrieve the name of the workflow.
      ColumnSet cols = new ("name");
      Entity newWorkflow = service.Retrieve("workflow", response.Id, cols);
      if (newWorkflow["name"] == "Workflow From Template")
      {
         Console.WriteLine($"Created {request.WorkflowName}.");
      }
}
