Submit website form info to CRM

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hi, I'm a newbie to this CRM.

I'm using PHP on my website and sending leads to Sales Force using forms on
our website.
We're moving to the Microsoft CRM now and I'm not sure how to POST web form
info the CRM. What page do I post to? And how does it work? Do I need to run
an ASP page?

thanks for any help.

Dynamics CRM has a web service based API stack that is exposed for this
purpose. It is a lot easier to write these calls in a .Net language though.
more info on the SDK can be found here:

Question on this...I have a client that has same requirement:

Does your CRM need to be on an "extranet" to accomplish this, or doesn't it
matter? I am very interested in this topic!

Thanks,

It all depends on what they need. If all they need is to provide a web page
that accesses the CRM API's, then CRM itself does not need to be published.
Just the website that houses the web page needs ot be published and then
that server needs to have access to the CRM site.

The one we're using is on our internal network and the webpage with the form
will be on the web.
So the web form posts the variables to the .wsdl file and then the .wsdl
file has a connection to our internal network CRM, is that correct?

thanks
